The Mission Possible campaign's goal is to raise $250,000 to directly support 50 solo women Afghan SIV applicants.
These women are Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants who risked their lives to support the United States. Because of their service, they are now extremely vulnerable to retaliation from the Taliban.
One of the unique challenges in bringing these women to safety is the Taliban rule that women must be accompanied by a male chaperone at all times. This makes their evacuation more complicated, but it’s a challenge we are committed to overcoming. Join us in our mission.

About No One Left Behind
No One Left Behind is the oldest charitable organization focused specifically on supporting former interpreters and U.S. government employees eligible for the Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) programs. We help evacuate deserving SIV applicants to safety, and provide resettlement assistance to help them start new lives as Americans. We also advocate for our allies with the U.S. government, provide subject matter expertise to the media, and partner with other charitable organizations, advocacy groups, and major American employers to provide opportunities to new Afghan-Americans and Iraqi-Americans.
No One Left Behind was co-founded by Janis Shinwari, an Afghan interpreter for U.S. forces who saved the lives of five American soldiers in combat. When donors raised $35,000 to support his family's resettlement in 2013, he instead used the funds to co-found No One Left Behind. Ever since, Janis and No One Left Behind have paid his gratitude forward to new SIV recipients starting their lives as Americans.
