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

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 and in the Hazara-American diaspora communities in the United States. Our grassroots partners are meeting a crucial, locally identified need in their respective host communities, and Bamyan Foundation will support their efforts to this end. 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.
