Help the Afghan Children (HTAC)

Help the Afghan Children (HTAC), a non-profit, non-partisan, charitable organization, was established in 1993 by Suraya Sadeed, an Afghan-American woman, in response to the horrible conditions of Afghan children she witnessed during Afghanistan’s civil war in the early 1990s.  HTAC has 501(C)-3 status with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (tax ID: 54-1695838) and all contributions to HTAC are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.  HTAC is also registered with Afghanistan’s Ministry of Economics as a national NGO (non-governmental organization).     At HTAC, we are committed to educating and empowering a new generation of Afghan children  to become proud, productive citizens and future leaders of their country.  We believe that investing in children is the best long-term strategy in ending Afghanistan’s continuous conflict, poverty, ignorance, fear and neglect and to establish peace, stability, and prosperity in Afghanistan and beyond its borders.
