THE BEGINNINGS
A small dream to be of some support for others
Faraj Academics began as a humanitarian endeavour to simply give back to others. In seeing the pain and devastation that war and poverty had caused, they wanted to help teach and support the next generation of youth who will ultimately stir social change.
With the blindingly fast and devastating news of last year's takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, and the ensuing dire humanitarian crisis, we saw a real need for us to step up. Particularly now with the effects of conflict, economic collapse, ongoing drought and the pandemic all taking a heavy toll on the people. This is compounded with unemployment and food insecurity running at all-time highs alongside the increased fears of further persecution.
This is where Faraj Academics was born. In seeing the desperate situation there, our aim is to help support the local community here, and ultimately use any funding proceeds to support the most disadvantaged in Afghanistan and around the world.
