Fariba's Journey to Self-Sufficiency

Discover how the Afghan Coalition is transforming lives through our Entrepreneur Support Initiative called Microenterprise Project funded by our donor, the City of Fremont.

I was facing significant challenges after recently immigrating to America, struggling with adjusting to a new country and supporting my family. The Afghan Coalition provided crucial support to help me overcome these challenges.

In January 2024, I began receiving assistance from the Afghan Coalition, including guidance on starting a small business, food handler training and certificates, marketing support, and training on labeling and creating product sales packages. They also assisted me in obtaining A DUNS number for my business, to help me establish and build business credit.

Since then, I have experienced tremendous positive changes. These include becoming capable and self-sufficient, earning a living, and supporting my small family through my baking business. This story shows the effectiveness of our Entrepreneur Support Program.

I never imagined I could turn my passion for baking into a way to support my family. The Afghan Coalition made it possible, says Fariba.

With continued support from the Afghan Coalition, Fariba looks forward to expanding her business and creating a stable future for her children. We remain committed to helping individuals like Fariba achieve lasting change.

The Afghan Coalition is proud to be part of Fariba's journey. Together, we can create a brighter future for many more.

Here is Raz’s story

I was facing severe financial struggles and was a victim of domestic violence. Living in Fremont CA , I was dealing with physical abuse and needed immediate assistance to find shelter and file a restraining order. The Afghan Coalition provided the necessary support to help me overcome these challenges.


In April, 2024 I came to the Afghan Coalition office crying, seeking help. They provided me with emotional support and contacted Narika, providing translation during my interview. They found a safe shelter for me and my three children. Additionally, they assisted me in joining the micro-enterprise program to generate income through baking and cooking, using the community kitchen. They also supported me in marketing my products at the local mosque, utilizing a parking space for weekly sales.

Since then, I have found a safe place to live with my children and have a steady income from my baking and cooking business. The Afghan Coalition has given me and my children a new start. I now have a safe place to live and a way to support my family," says Raz.

With continued support from the Afghan Coalition, I look forward to further stabilizing my life and expanding my business.

The Afghan Coalition is proud to be part of Raz's journey. Together, we can create a brighter future for many more.

From Homelessness to Stability
Ahmad’s Journey with Afghan Coalition

Ahmad recently relocated from Texas to California, driven by family-related challenges. Upon his arrival, he encountered significant hardships, including homelessness and unemployment, compounded by a lack of financial resources to sustain himself.

The Afghan Coalition stepped in to provide essential support. We offered Ahmad gift cards to address his immediate needs and assisted him in applying for social service benefits, ensuring a safety net during this critical transition. Through our extensive network, we were able to secure temporary housing for him, which soon led to a stable and permanent place to live. Recognizing his skills and experience, we also helped him find employment, enabling him to regain financial independence.

In addition, Ahmad was enrolled in our mental health support program, ensuring he received the necessary emotional and psychological assistance during this challenging period.

Today, Ahmad is employed, housed, and continues to receive ongoing mental health support. His rapid journey from homelessness to stability within a month highlights the comprehensive and compassionate support provided by the Afghan Coalition and the strength of our community networks.
