The mission of the Kurdistan Cultural Institute is to assist the Kurdish community members with their living transition in USA and to acclimate with the diversity life in USA and adapt the new cultures. KCI will attempt to provide services to refugees a immigrants of Tennessee through excellent community service programs. The KCI is a non-profit organization. All its members are volunteers. Since the establishment and through continuous activities, the message of delivering unlimited service and enhancement of the Kurdish culture became the basis of the main objectives. All the tasks and works are for elevating the Kurdish culture. If you like to help and contribute, please participate in the activities and services we provide for whomever wants to benefits from the services and learn about Kurds and Kurdish culture.

The purpose of the KCA is to advocate to the greater community about the Kurdish people. We do this through; culture events, public speaking and educational information . The KCA was established on September 9, 2009 after seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in the communities we serve. We formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of local, state and national support. Our mission is to provide educational resources about the Kurdish American community. We believe education is the key to understanding one another. As an organization our job will be to empower our youth in appreciating their Kurdish American cultural heritage. Our doors are open to the general public in wanting to learn about the Kurdish people.

The Kurdish American Foundation of Houston is a registered foundation that operates under non-profit laws of Texas. The KAFH is a non-political, non-religious, and non-profit entity that follows directions set by the meanings of Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future Federal tax code. The KAFH aims to provide cultural, educational, and charity services to the Kurdish-American community in Houston and across the country. This includes contributions to the long-standing relationship between the Kurdish and American communities. As a result of the continued discrimination against the Kurdish people in Kurdistan, the Kurdish homeland that is fractioned between mainly the four troubled Middle East countries; Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, many Kurdish immigrants found a second home in the United States over the past half a century. Waves of immigration resulted in establishing several Kurdish-American communities throughout cities in the United States, particulary in Houston, Texas. While the Kurdish community is well assimilated into the culture of this country and proud of their contributions to the legacy of this nation; a sense of community remains an important factor that will only enrich the Kurdish-American relationship locally and internationally. KAFH's goal is to strengthen the ties between both cultures and help the Kurds to connect to their roots through arts, music, and languages. The KAFH proudly hosts cultural activities where the Kurdish community is able to reconnect and share quality time together. The incredible support from the community members and their interest in the type of services that KAFH offers have strengthened the organization and encouraged us to continue to provide such services and expand to serve the community in other areas nationwide. We are organizing periodical events for the community to connect with one another throughout the year such as the U.S. and Kurdish national holidays (e.g. American Independence Day, Newroz, Çarsema Sor). The KAFH staff members are involved in this project voluntarily. We share one goal; which is to serve Houston and the Kurdish-American communities across the country. Funding for the KAFH is provided by the community and we solely rely on community contributions for our projects. Please visit our Donation page to make your contribution to the mission of the KAFH. We thank you in advance for the anticipated support.
