Niyyat Foundation

‘We feed you for the sake of Allah alone, We seek neither recompense nor thanks from you.'

Surah Al-Insan (76:9)

Who We Are

Niyyat Foundation is a grass-root organization making an effort to relieve poverty conditions for internally displaced refugees in Afghanistan through basic necessity distribution, clothing drives and support for mobility devices.

Our Mission

Afghanistan's war-torn state has left the country with substantial amounts of vulnerable communities. Most homes and once working families have been destroyed, leaving behind tens of thousands of orphans, widows, people with disabilities and seniors without basic human needs.

Niyyat Foundation's mission is to empower these marginalized groups to come out of poverty by building income generating projects and by providing emergency relief funds, food, and living items through global support.

Our compassion for a nation that has been at war for 42 years is what drives us. We believe how we treat our marginalized communities reflects how we treat each other. By supporting families, children and individuals with food, shelter, education, job training, healthcare and a better future, we adhere to the philosophy that to teach someone to fish is to feed them for a lifetime.

Additionally, we provide food and life necessities during the month of Ramadan and Eid Al-Adha by donating funds and Qurbani meat to around 10, 000 refugees who have migrated to Kabul and are currently living in tents.

Standing united with our community in rebuilding Afghanistan, Niyyat Foundation is determined to bring sustainable and long-lasting changes to the lives of Afghans with severe war crises needs.
