Help rescue Hazara families from persecution.
Banoo's Walk Of Hope
Banoo's Walk Of Hope
Banoo’s Walk Of Hope is a children’s book written by Andy and Tabi and illustrated by our dear friend Mobina, an Iranian MBB.
It tells the story of many Hazara families who endured persecution in Afghanistan until they were forced to flee.
We hope this book inspires you and helps you share the story of our Hazara brothers and sisters.
When the Taliban took over Afghanistan, everything changed.
The lives of thousands of people were devastated and endangered - especially women, ethnic minorities, and non-Muslims. Once American news networks moved on, so did most Americans.
But the crisis is far from over for our the Hazara people - an ethnic minority who historically have known persecution and even genocide.
Since the Taliban takeover,
large groups of Christian Hazara have fled to a neighboring country where they continue to live in fear of persecution. Hope For Hazara is working to rescue as many of these families as we can.
We are in the process of legally sponsoring eight Hazara families to come to the U.S. and begin a new life of freedom. We need you to join us to make their freedom a reality.
Hazara Christian
“Being a secret Christian in Afghanistan was hard, but when the Taliban took over it became impossible. Escaping to Pakistan wasn’t easy, but God is with us. Thanks to your prayers and support we have hope for freedom.
Here’s where you come in.
Donate
100% of your donations go directly to meet daily necessities like rent, food, and clothing for persecuted believers who can’t work.
Gather
Gather your friends, small group, co-workers, or church to pray together and raise a monthly group donation.
Pray
Sign up for updates on Hope For Hazara, and messages from the families we’re working to rescue.
Each gift of $5,000 will be matched with an additional $1,000.
ALL funds raised will contribute directly to the cost of the legal and financial process of getting the Hazara families out of their current country and into the United States upon visa approval.
