To educate and empower a new generation of Afghan children to become proud, productive citizens and future leaders of their country.

Help the Afghan Children (HTAC), a non-profit, non-partisan, charitable organization, was established in 1993 by Suraya Sadeed, an Afghan-American woman, in response to the horrible conditions of Afghan children she witnessed during Afghanistan’s civil war in the early 1990s. At HTAC, we are committed to educating and empowering a new generation of Afghan children to become proud, productive citizens and future leaders of their country. We believe that investing in children is the best long-term strategy in ending Afghanistan’s continuous conflict, poverty, ignorance, fear and neglect and to establish peace, stability, and prosperity in Afghanistan and beyond its borders.
