We will be providing aid in the form of cash to the families of the victims. Be part of the relief efforts by donating and sharing this campaign!


Our Goal

We the Gulzad Foundation and Watan Project are leading a joint effort to raise money for the victims/families of the Kabul University Attack. These atrocious attacks were perpetrated early Monday morning on November 1st. We are seeking broad support from the international community to raise desperately needed money to support and assist the Afghan people tragically impacted by the cowardice shootings on innocent students and bystanders.

What will be distributed?

We have decided that providing lump sums of money instead of other supplies would be the best form of relief for the victims and their families. This way, they can choose to purchase whatever they deem necessary during these hard times. The Gulzad Foundation is currently getting in touch with Kabul University to create a survey on the victims and their families.

Who are we?

We are a group of young Afghan-Americans based out of Southern California and we hope to make a difference in our community. The Watan Project's purpose is to help maintain Afghanistan's rich culture for our younger generations. We are here to teach our youth about our history, talk about issues in our community, as well as lead by example by aiding in emergency relief projects in Afghanistan. We want to inspire a movement in hopes that other young Afghans will join us in our journey to create a better Afghanistan. 

The Watan Project is proud to announce our ongoing partnership with the Gulzad Foundation, a non-profit organization run in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Gulzad Foundation is a trusted organization that has been operating in Afghanistan for over 20 years. They have contributed to many philanthropic ventures and continue to support causes such as education and women's right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the fees? LaunchGood collects a standard 5% platform fee along with a 3% credit card processing fee. Supporters have the option to cover the 8% in fees upon online checkout, and over 70% of supporters do! As a result, LaunchGood costs on average 2.5%​. Other than this small percentage, 100% of the funds will go to the victims. We will cover all transportation and administrative costs to ensure every last dollar goes to those in need.

We Have Reached Our Goal!

We have officially reached our goal of $5,000! Thank you so much to all of our amazing donors and supporters. We are currently in the process of withdrawing the money from LaunchGood. Distributions will begin as soon as the money is received


We have also met with the President of Kabul University and they have given us updated lists of the injured. We estimate that each family will receive $80-$100 depending on the injury or death of a loved one.


After distributions are complete, documentation and further proof will be posted. Although our goal has been met, we will leave the fundraiser open for donations for 24 more hours. Thank you all again for your generous donations and support!


Sincerely,

Team Watan Project
