One of the groups we are helping are the Hazara people.

The Hazara ethnic minority lives largely in Afghanistan, and makes up around nine per cent of the country’s population, however there are also communities living in Iran and Pakistan.

The group is overwhelmingly Shiite rather than Sunni Muslim, giving them two major points of difference from the majority of the Afghan population.

The Hazaras have been the target of massacres and human rights abuses at the hands of Taliban forces.

Many sought refuge in Australia, risking harrowing days at sea before arriving as asylum seekers.
