Mission Statement
No One Left Behind is the leading national organization dedicated to ensuring that America keeps its promise to U.S. interpreters and employees in Iraq and Afghanistan.
About This Cause
No One Left Behind is the oldest charitable organization focused specifically on supporting former interpreters and U.S. government employees eligible for the Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) programs. We help evacuate deserving SIV applicants to safety, and provide resettlement assistance to help them start new lives as Americans. We also advocate for our allies with the U.S. government, provide subject matter expertise to the media, and partner with other charitable organizations, advocacy groups, and major American employers to provide opportunities to new Afghan-Americans and Iraqi-Americans. No One Left Behind was co-founded by Janis Shinwari, an Afghan interpreter for U.S. forces who saved the lives of five American soldiers in combat. When donors raised $35,000 to support his family's resettlement in 2013, he instead used the funds to co-found No One Left Behind. Ever since, Janis and No One Left Behind have paid his gratitude forward to new SIV recipients starting their lives as Americans. We have advocated for numerous legislative and policy improvements to reduce the average 3.5-year visa processing wait time, during which applicants face risks of death at the hands of those they once helped the United States fight. We played a significant role supporting the enactment of the Emergency Security Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 117-31), which improved the visa program and was signed into law on July 30, 2021. Since 2014, we have evacuated over 9,070 Afghans to safety and provided resettlement support to over 13,180. But over 130,000 allies still need to get to safety--we need your help today.
