AAHYA
The Australian Afghan Hassanian Youth Association (AAHYA) was created in 2006 in response to community needs and has since grown to work with people all across New South Wales, with over 80 volunteers and 12 members from a variety of different backgrounds.
AAHYA is a not-for-profit welfare organisation and a charity registered organisation, providing a range of support services as well as cultural and religious services.
AAHYA works with the whole community, supporting both the family unit and the people within them, providing group workshops, casework, mental health support as well as child and youth programs.
During the extraordinarily tough times of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Sayeed Karimi initiated a unique care package distribution designed to help migrants, refugees, individuals who had lost their job, and the vulnerable and elderly Australians. It has been one of the most effective initiatives, supporting over 500 migrant refugees and asylum seekers, and more than 250 vulnerable Australians who were deeply affected by the global pandemic. The generosity of volunteers in organising, preparing and providing the care packages are reflective of Sayeed Karimi’s commitment to charity and compassion and are guiding values for the services provided by AAHYA.
