Zaanha Fund

The Zaanha Fund is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supports children and young women in war-affected regions such as Afghanistan where systemic barriers deny them access to education and employment. And as refugees face limited opportunities to rebuild their futures. Reflecting its name, Zaanha—which means “women” in Farsi—the organization focuses on empowering women and advocating for their rights to learn, grow, and thrive. All donations to The Zaanha Fund are tax deductible.
