BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE & EQUITABLE AFGHANISTAN

REIMAGINING AID WORK & DEVELOPMENT

Our Work

As a charitable fund, we vet and support grassroots organizations doing impactful work on the ground in Afghanistan and with Afghan refugees worldwide.

We are a non-political, women-led, humanitarian-focused organization with knowledge of and sensitivity to the local cultures and customs of the Afghan people. As a team of experts with eyes and ears on the ground, we assess critical areas of need, remain adaptable to evolving crises, and work to ensure a sustainable future for Afghanistan.

We seek to reclaim aid work as a conversation between equals, with those we serve setting the agenda for what kind of support best meets their local needs. We see our donors as culturally conscious allies in this work.

Our Mission

To uplift the people of Afghanistan by connecting compassionate, impact-driven donors with community-led initiatives and grassroots organizations they can trust. 

Our Vision

To be a key player in the redevelopment of Afghanistan from an aid-dependent economy to a self-sufficient, sustainable, and thriving nation.

Our Projects

Impact Fund

Our Impact Fund gives our experts the flexibility to direct your support to the area or project of greatest need. In Afghanistan, where multiple crises are unfolding, this flexibility is key—allowing us to direct your unrestricted support where it makes the most significant impact in real time.

Our Core Values

  • We uphold the dignity of Afghan people by uplifting their voices, honoring their values, and making sure they have control over their own representation.

  • We commit to cultivating a culture of transparency by exchanging knowledge and best practices on aid allocation and distribution. We rely on advances in data science to enable governments, aid organizations, community leaders, and donors to make informed decisions.

  • We are actively involved in advocating for self-determination by identifying and eliminating marginalizing practices and systems that prevent access to resources and sustainable outcomes for all Afghans.

  • We believe in one people, one planet. We believe that what happens in one part of the world affects the entire global community. We believe that our cultural roots as people are braided, and our destinies as nation-states are interwoven. Therefore, it’s imperative that we make economic and social decisions that operate on the principle of win-win. It’s imperative that we value people over profit, and we let our guiding principles be compassion and equity.

  • We believe in thinking about old problems in new ways. We believe in reimagining the way aid work has always been done in order to arrive at more sustainable and equitable solutions. We believe in honoring the input of local people on local problems.
