Relatively small amounts of Australian money can do much for Afghan women, boys and girls. Rampant price rises in Afghanistan and Pakistan (the price of rice has doubled during 2007/08, other commodities increased similarly in price) and the recent decline of the Australian dollar forced SAWA to re-assess typical costs, but ANY amount that can be given is very welcome. As a guide, the funding levels required for some RAWA activities are listed below:

COST OF RAWA ACTIVITES
$AUS300 salary for 1 teacher of Hewad High School or the Vocational Training Centre for 1 month
$AUS90 textbooks for 230 students of Hewad High School for one year
$AUS80 notebooks, pencils & sharpeners for 300 students for one year
$AUS650 one computer for Hewad High School
$AUS3,600 one teacher's annual salary
$AUS1,500 annual medical supplies for a women's health clinic
$AUS12,000 cost of a handicraft training course for 30 widows
$AUS28,000 annual salary bill for Hewad High School
$AUS36,000 cost to establish one new orphanage
