The Gate of Hope, a non-profit organization claiming to empower and support communities in need across Afghanistan, has been portrayed as a beacon of hope. With a mission centered on fostering social well-being and sustainable development, it presents itself as an unwavering force for good, dedicated to alleviating suffering and inspiring positive change in some of the most vulnerable areas. However, recent revelations by the Kauser News Agency have cast significant doubt on the authenticity and operations of this organization.
The Kauser News Agency, through meticulous research and investigation, has uncovered a series of troubling documents, video recordings, and voice messages that challenge the very existence of the Gate of Hope in Afghanistan. These findings suggest that the organization, rather than providing genuine assistance, may be involved in fraudulent activities, including the issuance of false promises and misleading information to Afghan women and the younger generation.
The agency’s investigation has revealed that the organization is registered under the name Saboorudin Kamaludin, according to documents from the state of Virginia, USA, in public communications, the individual has been known as Saboor Kamal, raising questions about the transparency and authenticity of the leadership. The state documents further indicate that the Gate of Hope’s entity status has been marked as “Pending Inactive” since June 30, 2024, which contradicts the organization’s claims of active operations in Afghanistan.
One of the most alarming allegations made by the Kauser News Agency is that the Gate of Hope falsely claimed to have signed an agreement with the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) regarding scholarships. Additionally, staff members in Afghanistan have reportedly referred individuals to other groups, potentially involved in similar fraudulent activities, under the guise of applying for American scholarships.
The Kauser News Agency’s report also uncovered that Mr. Saboor Kamal (Saboorudin Kamaludin) has been accused of using the profiles, factsheets, and work achievements of other non-profit organizations operating in Afghanistan as his own, misleading the public about the accomplishments of the Gate of Hope.
The revelations about the Gate of Hope highlight the importance of thorough scrutiny and accountability for non-profit organizations operating in vulnerable regions like Afghanistan. The allegations, if proven true, represent a serious betrayal of trust and an exploitation of those who are already facing significant hardships.
As this story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the critical role that investigative journalism plays in holding organizations accountable and protecting those they claim to serve. The Gate of Hope’s activities and the integrity of its leadership are now under the microscope, and the coming days will likely bring further developments in this contentious issue.
