Lamia Afghan Foundation

About The Lamia Afghan Foundation

The Lamia Afghan Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to the children and families of Afghanistan. The future of Afghanistan is in the hands of its youth. With winter relief drives, school supply drives and other donations, Afghan children will be offered educational opportunities and basic necessities they need to secure a brighter future. You can help the Lamia Afghan Foundation as we strive to restore hope to this war-torn nation.

Feeding the Nations

We are working with Feeding the Nations,  an International Christian humanitarian relief organization whose mission is to deliver food, medicine, vitamins, planting seed and other necessities to families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty, or other natural disasters. This is the FIRST time they have worked in Afghanistan!  Check out this update and read more about the over 500,000 meals that are being delivered to Afghanistan by the U.S. Air Force under the Denton Program!

Our partnership with Civil Affairs PRTs in Paktika has helped us make better lives for the people of Paktika. Lamia Afghan Foundation provided the Sarparnah dome for girls who have never had the opportunity to attend school past 6th grade until now.  Backpacks with school supplies from a Children's Mission Group in Lubbock, TX, as well as stuffed animals from Loving Hugs run by Wendy Clark in Littleton, CO and wooden toys from The Ebbetts Pass Elves in CA were provided.  The video above was created by Jillian Hoiseth, whose mother generously sent the school supplies.  Captain Butler coordinated with our foundation to put up the Sarpanah domes and participate in the women's sewing projects implemented by these wonderful PRTs.  We are currently working with the Minister of Education, Mohammad Azizi, in order to build a girl's high school in Patika.
