Afghan refugees are fleeing to America and companies are coming together to do their part in helping the transition.
More than 120,000 people were airlifted out of Kabul, Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of the country in August, according to briefings from the U.S. Defense Department and the White House; 50,000 are expected to be admitted into the United States. In an effort to create economic opportunities for refugees, thirty-two companies including Amazon, Facebook, Pfizer and Chobani announced that they will join the Tent Coalition for Afghan Refugees network, part of the Tent Partnership for Refugees, to generate jobs and provide training and other resources, according to a press release.
