Overview
About the Afghan Refugees Fund
The Afghan Refugees Fund is KI's direct humanitarian program — built on a simple conviction that dignity is not charity. It is the condition under which recovery becomes possible.
How It Works
From Your Donation to a Family's Future
The Afghan Refugees Fund operates on a simple, transparent model — no bureaucracy, no middlemen, no delay. Every dollar donated moves through a direct, accountable pipeline from donor to family.
You Donate
Your contribution is processed securely through Stripe and directed entirely to the Afghan Refugees Fund. One hundred percent of your donation goes to Afghan families — no overhead deducted, no administrative cut taken from your gift.
KI Identifies Eligible Families
KI's Afghan-led team identifies families in hardship who meet the Fund's eligibility criteria — families with a viable small business plan, a demonstrated need for capital, and the capacity to manage a micro-loan responsibly. Placeholder — add detail on the identification and vetting process here.
The Micro-Loan Is Issued
A small loan is issued directly to the family — sized to their specific business plan and repayment capacity. Placeholder — add detail on average loan sizes, loan terms, interest policy, and repayment structure here. Add any detail on how loans are disbursed practically.
The Family Builds Their Business
The family uses the loan to launch or grow a small business — a market stall, a tailoring workshop, a food production unit, a service business. Placeholder — add examples of the kinds of businesses the Fund has supported. Add any detail on business support or mentorship provided alongside the loan.
Loans Are Repaid and Recycled
As loans are repaid, the capital is recycled back into the Fund to support the next family. Placeholder — add detail on repayment rates, the recycling model, and how the Fund's capital base grows over time. Add any detail on what happens in cases of genuine hardship preventing repayment.
Independence Is Restored
Families rebuild on their own terms — with dignity, self-reliance, and a path forward that does not depend on indefinite humanitarian assistance. Placeholder — add content here about the long-term outcomes the Fund is designed to produce and how they are measured and reported.

- Afghan family in documented hardship
- Viable small business plan or existing micro-business
