Afghanistan is a country riddled with poverty, illiteracy, censorship, human rights abuses and corruption. There are hardly any progressive and independent news sources functioning within it. We aim to change that!

We want to create a powerful Afghanistan through new media technologies. The internet is our only gateway to free speech and global outreach. We want to use digital media to show the world what currently goes unreported; things happening in Afghanistan’s remote villages, to people never given a chance to communicate with the rest of the world. In order to share a realistic portrayal of Afghanistan with the rest of the world, we aim to involve as many locals as possible in reporting the world around them, thus concretely enhancing the lives of Afghan people. We envision this taking the form of digital media, documentaries, podcasts, online TV, journalism, women blogging, youth empowerment via the internet and beyond.

It is time for Afghanistan to have a successful digital media outlet that is by the people, for the people, to the world and whose mission is to improve the country. Because of financial instability, independent media production is seen as a luxury and funding options for this type of visionary initiative are limited. We believe that a functioning and thriving independent media is necessary to achieve our dream of a better, safer, free Afghanistan, and we need your help to realize this vision.
