assisting refugees is our top priority
AYRF is trying to do its part to gather essential supplies and distribute them to displaced families arriving in America. We are beginning our Phase II support, including programs for community orientation and integration support, as well as educational resources. We are also active in Germany and in Afghanistan, trying to help.

Nowruz Celebration
AYRF worked in collaboration with AHUSA and ICNA Relief on Saturday, March 19th, to host Nowruz, an Afghan New Year's celebration, with our neighbors who have arrived in these past few months. More than 2,500 attendees enjoyed activities such as kite-making stations, henna, and face painting. We also distributed toys and resources such as baby formula, hygiene kits, and prayer rugs.
