A Shared Journey

Building resilience and impact for Afghan organisations in exile.

Our Story

Launched in 2023, HAMRAH strengthens the resilience and collaboration of Afghan organisations in exile. We serve as a trusted connector, convener and catalyst, supporting our members to protect and deliver services to women and girls, people with disabilities, and other marginalised communities inside Afghanistan, to advocate for their rights, and to lay the foundations for an inclusive future where all Afghans can prosper.

Civic Resilience

HAMRAH offers a range of technical support and mentoring tailored to each cohort member’s specific needs.

Research, Advocacy and Influence

HAMRAH supports cohort members in their own advocacy and provides a platform for their collective voices.

Reimagining the Future of Afghanistan

We create meaningful opportunities for shared learning and for building solidarity.

Network Members

Our cohort supports those most in need in Afghanistan. Their work ranges from providing quality education for girls, supporting child literacy, fostering inclusivity and empowering people with disabilities, enabling women, girls and displaced persons to access legal aid to supporting women human rights defenders and protecting LGBTIQ+ persons. Their efforts on the ground in Afghanistan and their international advocacy works towards ensuring equal rights, safety and dignity of marginalised groups in the face of extreme deprivation and discrimination.

Quotes from our Members

While global sympathy for Afghans—especially women and girls—remains, attention on Afghanistan has waned amidst new conflicts and global crises. To bring the spotlight back and push for meaningful policy shifts, our cohort is stepping up, speaking out, and ensuring the world does not look away.

“Education is more than just knowledge - it’s the foundation for opportunity, empowerment, and lasting change.”

Khadija Nazari, President, Support for Afghan Girl’s’ Education (SAGE)

“Children visit our libraries with excitement, eager to dive into new stories and imagine a world beyond war. There is not a day when I don’t fear for their future.”

Freshta Karim, Director, Charmaghz

“Though the Taliban want to silence Afghan women, we won’t be silenced. We will sing and speak loud so the world can hear us.”

Tahmina Salik, Executive Director, Empowerment for Her

"Afghanistan is not only the worst country in the world for women but also the worst country in the world for journalists and press freedom. Yet, every day when my colleagues show up to work, despite the fear of being tortured or arrested by the de facto authorities, they are fighting for press freedom in that country."

Zahra Nader, Editor-in-Chief, Zan Times
