Hanifa, Zahra and Hasina.

The first mission taken on by SOS is to help young Afghan Sowboarders now refugees in foreign countries. During the Taliban takeover of 2021, the dozen members of the Afghan Snowboard Team had to flee immediate danger & death threats. We help bring them a network for social integration and make friends through snowboarding by connecting them with local riders, events and associations. Learning new languages, continuing their studies and pursuing a carreer are also key to their new life. We also work on finding them snowboard gear and access to resorts to be able to train and keep their sport dream alive. We all are snowboarders, we love the mountain, so let’s reach out and help a brother/sister out.
