It has been about two years since the world witnessed the collapse of the Afghan government after the U.S. withdrew from the war-torn nation. Chaos from those days aside, some Americans, including some in Arizona, have worked to help a number of young Afghan women get out of the country, and start a new life.

It’s been about two years since the United States withdrew from Afghanistan. It was chaotic as Americans, our allies, and Afghan families tried to escape.

The images are hard to forget: people jumping on planes, desperate to escape Taliban control, and the 13 American service members who were killed by a suicide bomber. Humaria Zafari was waiting on a bus by the airport in Kabul when the bomb went off.Born and raised in Kabul, she was a small child when the United States invaded, so Zafari was able to go to school and get an education. Things, however, quickly changed in 2021.

"We got a phone call my husband and I from a client," Mayo said. "One of the presidents at T-Mobile and said ‘hey I'm on the board of this university and I've heard that there are a number of girls almost 200 that have been marked by the Taliban. They will have no future once the U.S. pulls out.’""There are these women who had beautiful bright futures," Mayo said. "They had jobs, careers, overnight their lives changed.

"I was working at Arizona Chamber of Commerce as a fellow which was a great experience," Zafari said.
