Popular American Reality star Kim Kardashian has funded a flight to help members of Afghanistan’s Women’s Youth football team escape to England.
Earlier this month, it was reported by the Associated Press that through the help of a New York Rabbi and the American celebrity’s funds, the group of over 30 teenagers were able to board a flight which landed in Stansted Airport near London.
The girls secured their UK Visa weeks ago, however they were left without flights and time was of the essence.
Luckily, after contacting Tzedek Association, a non-profit organisation based in the United States, Rabbi Moshe Margaretten reached out to the reality TV star to ask for help. Within an hour, he received a text from the socialite to say she wanted to fund the whole flight.
The unusual pair has previously worked together on criminal justice reform in the US.
