Diaspora resettlement support — visas, flights, first 3 months
Families in transit in Islamabad
Visa interview waiting room
First day in Toronto
The Afghan Diaspora Network coordinates resettlement support for families who have been in transit for months or years. Visa processing in Islamabad, Istanbul, and Dubai is slow and expensive. Once approved, the cost of a one-way ticket to a third country plus three months of rent in a new city is often beyond what a family in transit can save. We work with vetted families — every applicant goes through Sumsub identity verification — and disburse funds in tranches against verified milestones (visa stamped, flight booked, lease signed). Our impact: 47 families resettled in 2025, 12 already booked for early 2026 pending this round of fundraising.
