"Empowering women, youth, and communities affected by conflict and poverty to rebuild with dignity, education, and opportunity."
Diar Foundation is a certified non-profit, women-led organization operating both nationally and internationally, dedicated to empowering the world’s most vulnerable communities.
We work at the heart of crisis—supporting women, youth, and families affected by war, displacement, poverty, and systemic inequality. Our mission is rooted in the belief that extreme poverty is not just a lack of income or access to food and shelter, but the result of deeply interconnected challenges: forced migration, homelessness, gender-based violence, hunger, poor health, and the absence of clean water, education, and sanitation.
Diar Foundation believes that true change starts by investing in women, girls, and youth—restoring their dignity, amplifying their voices, and building pathways to education, healing, and sustainable opportunity.
OUR MISSION
Diar Foundation champions the rights of women, children, and youth by building their capacity and strengthening grassroots groups around the world. We foster inclusive communities that uphold the dignity and diversity of war survivors, refugees, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. Rooted in equity and human rights, our mission is to ensure no one is left behind. We focus on practical, local solutions that remove barriers to access and empower people living in poverty to fully participate in society.
OUR VISSION
A just, compassionate, and equitable world where every person—regardless of gender, background, or ability—lives free from poverty, violence, and discrimination, with full access to their rights and the opportunity to thrive.
