WHAT WE DO
Nourishing The Lives of Afghans
Healthcare & Women’s Empowerment
Heal and Empower the Key to Afghanistan's Future
At Bayat Foundation, we echo the importance of women’s health & empowerment and believe all women should have access to affordable and quality healthcare. A woman’s health is highly dependent on many social determinants, including income, education, employment, social connections, community, and safety. And, in many cases, women are at a disadvantage compared with men, as they are more likely to be unemployed or work part-time, be paid less, and live in poverty. On top of that, women still bear the heavier burden when it comes to caring for children.
Families In Need
Reaching Those Most In-Need Around the Country
Decades of conflict and unrest have forced many Afghans into lives of poverty with few or no places to turn for help to feed their families, obtain medicine, find support during times of scarcity, or send their children to school. Worsening the situation, many families also have a child, parent, or relative who has become handicapped due to the dangerous conditions still prevalent in this war-torn country. In response to these challenges, the Bayat Foundation – with the support of its generous U.S. donors, Bayat Family funds, and its partner NGOs in Afghanistan – has established a number of initiatives to support families in need.
Education & Training
Providing the Resources to Educate the Future Generation
Years of conflict have prevented many Afghans from obtaining any kind of formal education. This tragic legacy has robbed Afghan youth of the opportunity to develop the fundamental skills and critical reasoning necessary to make an enduring positive contribution to their families, their communities, and their country. This education gap is then perpetuated by the fact that parents are unable to help their children learn or understand the importance of school, depriving Afghanistan of present and future generations of potential society, business, and government leaders required to champion reconstruction efforts.
Water Projects
Providing Access to Clean Water Sources Essential to Daily Life
Lack of access to a clean water source and poor sanitation are the major contributory factors to poor health outcomes, with the majority of the population having no access to improved drinking water or improved sanitation facilities.
These challenges – made even more devastating by historical and ongoing environmental damage and climate related woes – prompted the Bayat Foundation to add these priorities to its mission in recent years.
