As of April 1, 2005 the Afghan Children's Fund is no longer accepting contributions. President Bush thanks those among America's youth who participated for their support.

The Program
Americans are concerned about the Afghan children and wish to remind others that America's actions are focused on destroying a terror network and are not directed against the innocent people and children of Afghanistan.
The President has announced the creation of "America's Fund for Afghan
Children," which will encourage children and their families to
contribute to relief efforts for Afghan children.
In particular, it is hoped that the children of America will be
inspired to make contributions of one dollar -- or whatever they can
give -- which can be sent individually or collectively to the Fund.

How the Program Will Work
America's Fund for Afghan Children
The White House has created a special zip code to help identify and expedite donations to the Fund. The White House will send the contributions to the American Red Cross (ARC), which will manage the program. The Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) will consult with the American Red Cross on distributing the Fund.
