Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about supporting Afghan journalists in exile.

Your contribution goes directly toward our core mission. Funds are allocated to three main areas:
 
  1. Emergency Relief: Providing immediate financial aid, legal assistance, and evacuation support for journalists facing direct threats.
  2. Career Integration: Funding digital security training, language classes, and professional networking to help exiled journalists rebuild their careers.
  3. Global Advocacy: Supporting collaborative investigative projects and international campaigns to hold the Taliban accountable and keep the world informed. We are committed to full financial transparency and provide annual reports on fund utilization.

Yes. The Afghan Journalists in Exile Network (AJEN) is a legally registered non-profit association in France. Donations made by French taxpayers are eligible for tax deductions according to French law. For international donors, tax deductibility depends on your local country's tax regulations. We provide an official, automated tax receipt for every donation made.

Absolutely. We use industry-standard, encrypted payment gateways (such as Stripe and PayPal) to process all transactions. Your financial information is secure, and we do not store your credit card details on our servers.

Yes, and it is highly encouraged! Monthly "Sustainer" donations provide us with predictable, stable funding. This allows us to commit to long-term support for journalists, such as funding ongoing legal asylum cases or multi-month professional training programs, rather than just one-off emergency aid.

We gladly accept corporate donations and institutional grants. If your employer offers a gift-matching program, you can double the impact of your personal donation. For large corporate gifts or matching gift verifications, please contact us directly at info@ajenetwork.org for official invoicing and documentation.

You will receive an automated email confirmation and a digital tax receipt immediately after your transaction is completed. If you need a formal, customized receipt for your employer or tax accountant, simply reply to that email or contact us at info@ajenetwork.org.

There are many ways to help! You can volunteer your time and expertise (we frequently need pro-bono legal, translation, IT, and mental health support), share our campaigns on social media to raise awareness, or submit leads for fellowships and job opportunities for our network.
