The Hazara Academic Network is launching a Help to Educate Scheme designed to strengthen educational access, community learning, and academic development within Hazara communities in the UK and internationally. As part of this initiative, the Network is offering two grants of £250 each to support small organisations whose work directly contributes to educational advancement, capacity building, or community empowerment through learning.


These grants aim to encourage grassroots initiatives, amplify community-led solutions, and provide targeted support to organisations that are creating meaningful educational opportunities—whether through tutoring, language support, cultural education, academic mentoring, women’s education, or youth development programmes.


Eligibility Criteria for Organisations

To qualify for the grant, organisations must meet the following criteria:

  • Non-profit status — The organisation must operate on a non-profit basis, whether formally registered or functioning as a recognised community group.

  • Educational focus — Activities must directly support education, learning, or academic development. This may include tutoring, literacy programmes, mentoring, women’s education, youth engagement, or community learning initiatives.

  • Operational capacity — Applicants should show they have the structure, volunteers, or partnerships needed to deliver the proposed activity effectively.

  • Transparent use of funds — A brief outline of how the £250 grant will be used must be provided, showing that the funds will directly support educational outcomes.

  • Commitment to inclusion — Organisations must uphold principles of equality, inclusion, and non-discrimination in all activities.

  • Must be operating within Afghanistan

Assessment Considerations

Applications will be reviewed based on:

  • Community need — How clearly the organisation identifies and responds to an educational need.

  • Impact potential — The expected benefit to learners or the community.

  • Feasibility — Whether the proposed activity is realistic and deliverable with the available resources.

  • Sustainability — The organisation’s ability to continue or expand the work beyond the grant period
