EPEK International exists to walk alongside and care for those in need in a place where many organizations are reluctant to go – Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is a place with difficult challenges but EPEK leaders see many opportunities for those willing to be a light in a dark place. The EPEK team is led by a U.S. citizen who was born in Afghanistan but fled the country as a child refugee to Pakistan. The EPEK team comprises individuals who have years of experience working with organizations and NGOs that have served the Afghan people.

EPEK supports Afghans in-country and in refugee camps in neighboring countries through long-distance cultural sharing, job training and health and wellness programs.

EPEK walks alongside Afghans – in Kabul, Afghanistan and elsewhere – to lift up those who are struggling and often feel forgotten. Their work and relationships create hope and transformational, sustainable change through love, learning, resources, faithful service and prayer.
