Who is the group behind this effort? |
We are a diverse group of all-volunteer NGO workers, pilots, and concerned citizens with extensive cumulative experience in Afghanistan and other international conflict contexts. This operation emerged from individual conversations around evacuating at-risk acquaintances and, over the course of a few days, rapidly grew into the larger effort you hear of today.

Is this fundraising campaign legitimate? |
It is fully legitimate, and we are working hard to be worthy stewards of your hard- earned funds. All donations are securely transferred to an audited, US-based bank account where they are reserved for sole use of this project: Operation Rescue. Funds are not being used for staff compensation or organizational overhead and are directed solely toward securing evacuations in the field.
As a volunteer team, we have been working around the clock to establish evacuation operations from Afghanistan. The situation has been fluid, dangerous, and constantly changing, which demands we pivot planning multiple times a day. Our #1 priority is saving Afghan lives. |
What is nPraxis International? |
nPraxis International is a US-based nonprofit registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State. When it was determined that significant resources were needed to facilitate evacuation efforts, nPraxis International generously agreed to process tax-exempt donations through its legal entity and into a designated bank account for operational use in support of Operation Rescue.

Are operations still ongoing following the United States’ withdrawal from Kabul on August 30th? |
Yes. We are continuing our efforts to save lives using all available options following the US withdrawal. We cannot comment further at this time due to the sensitive nature of ongoing operations.

Have you successfully evacuated anyone? |
Due to the sensitive nature of ongoing operations, we cannot provide specifics until operations have concluded.
|
Who are you evacuating from Afghanistan? |
We are committed to evacuating a diverse group of Afghans who, due to reasons including identity and occupation, are under threat since the Taliban’s recent occupation of Afghanistan. We are vetting our list of evacuees using all resources at our disposal, and biometrics vetting will occur at US Government refugee processing centers.
|
Are you still fundraising? |
Yes, we are continuing to raise funds to secure additional aircraft for this evacuation. The goal remains to evacuate as many at-risk Afghans as possible.
