Welcome.US is a nonprofit organization that coordinates the support of Afghan refugees in the United States.[1][2][3]
The organization was formed in 2021 as the U.S. evacuated 100,000 refugees from Afghanistan following the transfer of power to the Taliban.
The organization coordinates government, private sector and non-government organizations providing financial, material and advisory support to Afghan refugees.
The organization is led by Nazanin Ash and supervised by a board of directors that is supported by three former U.S. presidents and three former U.S. first ladies.
