About Campaign
"In collaboration with Aseel, Dosti Network is raising funds for vulnerable families in Afghanistan.
The Dosti Network has provided immigration and humanitarian support to more than one hundred Afghans. Dosti forges new global and local partnerships, serving as a nexus non-profit that streamlines the identification of families in need, directs families to resources, and provides humanitarian support for families still in Afghanistan. Long term, Dosti will expand its reach by removing barriers to information and connecting vulnerable Afghans to humanitarian assistance by creating an accessible, multilingual platform.
We encourage everyone to support our campaign by sharing, donating, and contributing." -Summia Tora

Summia Tora
Summia Tora is the founder and executive director of Dosti Network. She grew up as an Afghan refugee in Pakistan and has advocated for just refugee resettlement processes in the United States, Pakistan, and Greece. The Dosti Network was borne out of Summia’s efforts to evacuate her own family from Afghanistan in August 2021. Through this process, Summia witnessed first-hand the inequities marginalized Afghans face while trying to access aid within the country as well as while trying to flee. She created Dosti to address these inequities. Previously, she spearheaded an initiative focused on educating girls on menstrual hygiene and making reusable sanitary pads in Afghanistan and Pakistan. She has also worked with World Bank and Schmidt Futures to make scholarships and education accessible to refugees, especially girls. She is Afghanistan’s first Rhodes Scholar with a Masters of Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and currently pursuing a Masters in Human Rights Law.
