We are dedicated to promoting and providing support in the following key areas: 1).

Community Development efforts to support the Hazara diaspora and the new evacuees in the United States; 3) Hazara refugees scattered around the world; and 4) Our priority is to support women and girls in said three key areas. Hazaras are one of the main ethnic/racial groups in Afghanistan, who are under increased risk of genocide in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, according to United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Genocide Watch and Forum-Asia. Bamyan Foundation partners with reliable grassroots leaders and community-led organizations that have demonstrated a sound track record of service and low overhead to create long term collective impact in the marginalized and underserved Hazara communities in Afghanistan; the Hazara diaspora communities in the United States; and in the Hazara refugee communities around the world. Our grassroots partner-organizations are meeting a crucial, locally identified need in their respective host countries, and Bamyan Foundation will support their efforts. We believe that continued assistance supporting programs in the above key areas will have a significant and lasting impact on social and economic mobility of the Hazaras, and will support their survival and resilience in this difficult time. Our approach helps keep the overhead low as we do not have travel and accommodation costs due to a spirit of volunteerism and service coupled with an accountable and transparent system that we have established with our partners. This ensures that every dollar raised goes towards our projects and those who are most in need.
