Safar highlights the experiences and stories of Afghan refugees through a collection of videos, photographs, and illustrated stories beginning with a look at Afghanistan's history, the importance of its geographical position at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, its wealth and natural resources, as well as being part of the most important and largest empires, and the basis of civilizations since the Bronze Age

Videos, stories, and artwork produced by adults and children alike help illustrate this aid, in addition to the cultural support, music, and art provided to help bolster the well-being of the evacuees.
