Who We Are?
Generation Outside Afghanistan (GOA) is an Afghan-led, Europe-based NGO advocating for the rights, dignity, and empowerment of Afghan refugees and asylum seekers. Founded in 2023 and registered in both Greece and the United Kingdom, we operate across multiple countries including Greece, Germany, Pakistan, and Iran.
Our work bridges emergency relief with long-term empowerment. From accompanying families to funerals and hospitals, to offering language and job readiness courses, to organizing protests against human rights violations, we are present where people need us most.
Our Story
Generation Outside Afghanistan is a collective of Afghan scholars, activists, and humanitarians in the diaspora, committed to defending the rights of displaced people and advancing justice especially for women, youth, and vulnerable families. More than an NGO, we are a growing network of action, education, and advocacy. Since 2014, our members have supported Afghans in need. In 2023, GOA-Greece joined GOA-UK to expand our work in Europe.
We bridge urgent relief with long-term empowerment from supporting families in crisis to offering language and job training, and organizing protests against rights violations. In partnership with grassroots and international allies, we amplify Afghan voices and push for lasting change.
Our Mission
Our Vision
A just world where all Afghans—regardless of gender, ethnicity, or immigration status—live free from violence and discrimination, have access to opportunity, and are active participants in their communities and global society.
