Mission Statement

The Khyber Society aims to be the world’s premier Pashtun organization.  The Society is dedicated to assisting and educating the Pashtun Dispora  while preserving and evolving their culture and 6000 years old creed of Pashtunwali.
Furthermore, due to the amount of misconceptions and misrepresentations in  the press and public consciousness about the Pashtuns, the Khyber Society will work to educate the global public of them dispel half truths about them and foster new relations for them. In doing so, the Khyber Society will provide a credible and needed Pashtun voice in western civilization  and the United States of America.

For the entire Pashtun,s community’s welfare, the Khyber Society will focus on culture and social issues, Peace and other humanitarian causes
Of historical importance, the Khyber Society will assist in the protection and preservation of Pashtun holy sites, artifacts, ancient manuscripts and cemeteries. The Khyber Society long-term plans call for sponsoring archaeological excavations, field trips maintaining a permanent archive on Pashtun history and ethnic Afghan genealogy, and other historical and  research based programs.
By enhancing the quality of study and debate on Pashtun issues, the Khyber Society will foster culture exchange and develop new generations of thinkers and leaders. The KS will help meet the community’s challenges by  providing an open platform where Pahtuns can meet to discuss and generate solid and realistic ideas.
The Khyber Society, being based on a democratic structure, will provide an institutional role model for the community at large. It is worth nothing, however, that democratic ideals are not new to the
Pashtuns. Their Jirga or tirbal council is one of the most ancient forms  of democracy in the world.

By installing the Pashtun community with a greater understanding of Pashtunwali and their historic heritage, coupled with a great love for  knowledge, freedom and respect for all living creatures, the Khyber Society will uplift the Pashtuns, bringing them into the international  community on the right foot, and all the while sharing our indigenous culture with the world.
