About Organization:

The idea to establish an overhead-free charity was Tariq’s vision for a very long time. History of HBT goes back when Tariq Ahmadzai, who was brought up in an intellectual family as a refugee and far from his hometown, has envisioned supporting children through a structured and formal platform. During his school, Tariq helped his parents operate an educational institute for Afghan refugees educating Afghan girls and boys in various fields of live, including providing primary to tertiary education.
When Tariq moved to the US in 2010 to pursue his education, he transformed his vision of supporting the population in Afghanistan by establishing a charity foundation named Help Build Tomorrow (hbt.org)in 2016.
He came together with 20 Afghan American professionals with the idea to support poor refugee children by starting a program to assist vulnerable households, mainly focusing on street-working children who have lost their parents to security incidents.
