About the Kurdish Friendship Association
The Kurdish Friendship Association is a non-profit association working for integration, community and opportunity for people of different backgrounds. We work especially with newly arrived people, immigrants, asylum seekers, children, young people and families who want to find their place in Swedish society.
Who we work with
- Newly arrived people and immigrants
- Asylum seekers
- Children and young people
- Families
- Adults who want to learn more about society, find work or make new contacts
Through activities, language support, civic guidance and social meeting places, we want to help more people feel involved and secure in their everyday lives — and give more people the opportunity to build an independent life in Sweden.
Our mission
To work practically with integration, support, education, activities and community — together with our members and partner organizations.
Our vision
A society where people, regardless of background, feel a sense of belonging, security and the opportunity to grow.
