Refugees Accuse Meghan and HFC Founder of Mistreatment and Misappropriation of Funds

The left is in darkness as allegations of cruelty and fraud arise in the non-profit world.

Refugees have come forward, accusing Meghan Markle and the founder of the Human First Coalition (HFC) of mistreating them and pocketing a million dollars intended for their rescue.

These accusations have cast a shadow over Archewell, the humanitarian organization founded by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The recently published impact report by Archewell Foundation highlights several program partners, including the New American Association of Massachusetts (NAAMA), which aids refugees and immigrants across the state.

According to the report, Archewell launched its Welcome Project earlier this year, aiming to support women-led programming for recently resettled Afghan women and foster more inclusive and connected communities.

As part of the Welcome Project, the Archewell Foundation granted NAAMA a substantial sum in June 2023 for its Afghan Women Workshop.

The workshop, launched in Lynn in November 2022, provides Afghan women with a social club-like space where they can build friendships, find childcare support, and foster a sense of community.

However, these positive efforts risk being tarnished by the association with alleged grifters.

It begs the question of whether non-profits should exercise greater caution in vetting their partners.

Interestingly, Archewell's Welcome Project bears a striking resemblance to an earlier initiative by the Human First Coalition, which aimed to support the people of Afghanistan.

Archewell committed their support to this relatively new organization, which had close ties to Harry and Meghan in 2021-2022.

The couple was listed as honorees of the HFC's NYC gala, although they ultimately did not attend, sending an employee in their place.

At the time, the young founder of HFC, Safi Raf, garnered much praise, including being named in Forbes' 30 under 30 list and receiving the Pat Tillman award.

However, doubts began to surface about Raf's background, as some aspects of his story seemed fantastical.

Now, accusations have emerged against Raf and his organization, with an ABC News investigation uncovering numerous allegations of mistreatment of refugees and fraud.

These allegations were previously unreported.

The US government-backed institution that paid over half a million dollars to HFC for the rescue has filed a lawsuit against Raf and the Human First Coalition.

The lawsuit claims that the organization failed to evacuate its employees as promised.

Additionally, a former volunteer raised concerns about the organization's financial management and how funds were being spent.

It appears that the HFC has remained inactive on social media since April, leaving many wondering about its current activities.

These revelations come in the wake of criticism aimed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their work with the Arch Royal Foundation.

Pundits have accused the couple of only dedicating one day a week to their charitable endeavors and attaching themselves to existing charities rather than creating new ones.

Reports have also suggested that the Arch Royal Charity suffered a loss of over 8 million dollars in donations within a year.

However, sources close to the couple have refuted these claims, stating that the reports are misleading.

Kinsey Schofield, a royal commentator, appeared on GB News and echoed the sentiment that Harry and Meghan's involvement with charities often involves little effort on their part.

She referred to it as the “classic Harry and Meghan, you know, Spotify grifters” and claimed that they tend to insert themselves into already established charities without contributing much.

These allegations of minimal effort further fuel the criticisms surrounding the couple's philanthropic endeavors.

As the accusations against Meghan Markle, the Human First Coalition, and the Archewell Foundation continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact their future initiatives and partnerships.
