Philosophies and Aims

Our Mission
Australian Afghan Hassanian Youth Association inc. upholds and supports the rights of our people to a safe and secure living environment, to be treated with respect and dignity, to be treated in a fair, non-discriminatory and non-judgemental manner, and to have access to services that enable them to make their own life choices and decisions.

In keeping with this, we provide a broad range of services and programs in accordance with the needs of Afghan children and young people, and other new arrivals in their settlement in Australia, establishing an Association for Muslim immigrants for a better chance of productive settlements in their lovable adoptive country of Australia and NSW in particular.

Our main aim is to further educate and develop our children and youth in educational, moral, and cultural aspects in order to assist their more productive future growth and better settlement in their newly adopted homeland. We believe that given the chance their capabilities and future potentials would be better realised in educational, scientific, cultural and artistic aspects.

We value a commitment to our members for a better chance of them enjoying their material and moral qualities of life.

  • Peace
  • Community harmony and tolerance

  • A harmonious and tolerant environment
  • Be treated with dignity and respect
  • Have access to services, schools and social support
