Our vision is to offer comprehensive services that enable Afghan refugees to flourish. We strive to serve the material, social and spiritual needs of Afghan people. We emphasize community-centered programs delivered by culturally informed staff to create equitable outcomes, empowering migrants and refugees to thrive in every aspect of their new lives.
We are an organization created by Afghans, for Afghans. Simultaneously, we strive to empower our community to engage constructively with the broader host culture. We believe that strengthening the Afghan community brings value not just to Afghans themselves, but to the entirety of the broader public. To this end, we work to foster mutual understanding and enrichment between Afghans and other communities.
