The mission of the Khaled Hosseini Foundation is to provide humanitarian aid in Afghanistan, focusing specifically on support for families, women, and children. This includes offering shelter, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities to those in need.
The Khaled Hosseini Foundation Omid Grant focuses on essential humanitarian aid efforts within Afghanistan. This initiative is prioritizing emergency relief due to the current crisis in the region, particularly aiming to support healthcare for women and children and address the critical food shortage and threat of mass starvation. For 2023, grant applications are by invitation only, with a strong preference for organizations that the foundation has previously worked with. The grant supports organizations working to meet the acute national needs of the Afghan population, emphasizing assistance to more than half the population that is facing the risk of starvation.
