Dear supporters and friends,
The Afghan Cultural Center in Oostende, Belgium, was established by the Afghan community with the aim of preserving Afghan culture while promoting integration and social cohesion. To achieve this mission, we are launching a fundraising campaign to acquire a permanent building.
Our goals are ambitious and focused on supporting both the Afghan community and the wider society:
- Assisting Afghans who face daily challenges
- Promoting the Afghan mother tongue, Dutch, and religious education for Afghan youth
- Connecting Afghan youth with diverse cultures, including Flemish culture
- Fostering dialogue between different cultures and beliefs
- Promoting social cohesion between Afghans and the broader society
- Mediating between organizations, schools, and government institutions
To achieve these objectives, we aim to collaborate with schools, organizations, and public institutions. We plan to organize training sessions, cultural excursions, and debates that foster mutual understanding and strengthen social cohesion. By acquiring our own meeting space, we will be able to offer a wide range of activities that contribute to this vision.
What do we need?
We need a total amount of 400,000 euros to reach our goal, broken down as follows:
- 350,000 euros for the purchase of the building
- 50,000 euros for registration, notary fees, and other administrative costs
Currently, we have raised 380,000 euros, but we still need 20,000 euros to meet our target.
Deadline: February 28, 2025
If we do not transfer the full amount of 400,000 euros to the notary by this date, we will lose the 40,000-euro deposit we have already paid.
Your support is crucial.
With your help, we can acquire a special cultural center where we can organize programs, build relationships, and create a space for both Afghans and the wider community to connect with each other.
We kindly ask you to donate and share our campaign. Together, we can build a strong, united, and culturally rich Afghan community in Belgium.
We sincerely thank you for your support and generosity.
Kind regards,
The Afghan Cultural Center Team
