A SHEPPARTON resident has joined together with the Violet Town Op Shop to provide clothing for Afghans who fled from the Taliban in the last year.

Bushra Samadi, is a member of the Hazara Afghan community and is travelling to Pakistan later this month to visit her family.

Ms Samadi is aiming to take 90kgs of clothing for the thousands of Afghans who have fled into Pakistan from the Taliban recently.

"Many people arrived in Quetta (Hazara Town) with nothing more than a small backpack," she said.

"Droves of people are sheltering in the mosques as they have no other accommodation.

"Their needs are huge."

Last week, Ms Samadi received a message from a refugee advocate in Shepparton to say that Rural Australians for Refugees–Strathbogie Shire (RAR) may be able to help her locate much–needed clothing.

A day before she received that message, Ruth Fluhr from RAR received an email from the Violet Town Op Shop to say they wanted to arrange a discounted shopping day for Afghan women from Shepparton.

Ms Samadi rang Ms Fluhr, then Ms Fluhr rang the op shop and the connection was made.

Ms Samadi found heaps of lovely and warm clothing for children and teenagers, and was even more delighted when told the op shop wanted to donate rather than sell the clothing.

"We are so touched by the generosity, kindness and empathy shown towards Hazara Afghan refugees," Ms Samadi said.

"We can't thank you enough."
