Our Mission
KIRAN is a multi-cultural, non-religious, community based, South Asian organization. We promote the self-reliance and empowerment of South Asian women who are in crisis through outreach, peer support,and referrals in a confidential manner. We spread awareness of South Asian women's issues in the community and we cooperate and collaborate with organizations in the USA and elsewhere with similar objectives.
Countries in South Asia include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Though there are differences in language, customs, and religions across these countries, these regions share many basic cultural and historical similarities.
