Our HISTORY
Momand Foundation was established on July 31, 2015 to help children and needy families in the areas of education, social services, justice, and human rights.
In our first year, we negotiated with several universities and institutes of higher education in Afghanistan and obtained twenty (20) full scholarships, forty (40) scholarships with 50% tuition fee waivers, and forty (40) scholarships with 25% tuition fee waivers. This agreement remained in effect for four years from 2015 to 2019 and assisted many students in achieving their education goals. The Foundation also collected and distributed 2,000 books to the students in Afghanistan.
Since then, we have partnered with various affiliates and agencies to provide services to those in need. We will continue our mission to help wherever and however we can. It is our belief that even a small gesture can make a big difference in someone's life, so one should never hesitate to lend a helping hand where we can.
