Goal and Vision
The Pamir website has been developed as a modern, multilingual platform with the mission of informing, connecting, and empowering Afghans in the Netherlands. It is more than just a website: it is a digital meeting place that promotes inclusion, integration, and participation within a diverse and often vulnerable community.
The core vision behind Pamir is to strengthen the position of Afghans in the Netherlands young and old, newcomers and established residents through accessible information, knowledge sharing, and community building. By linking current topics to concrete projects, the website provides guidance, inspiration, and practical support for people who are still finding their way in Dutch society.
Design and functionality
The website is designed with a focus on security, simplicity, and accessibility. Thanks to a modern, responsive design, the site is compatible with all devices (desktop, tablet, mobile). The user experience is intuitive, featuring clear navigation, visual consistency, and multilingual support in Dutch, Dari, Pashto, and English. This makes the platform accessible to a wide range of users with varying language skills and levels of digital experience.
Content Structure
The website offers reliable, up to date information on topics such as:
- Integration and participation
- Education and language
- Work and entrepreneurship
- Health and well being
- Legal support
- Cultural events and community projects
The site also provides space for personal stories, interviews, and blogs, allowing the community to see themselves reflected and feel heard. Additionally, there is a calendar with relevant meetings and workshops, both locally and nationally.
Projects and impact
Through the Pamir website, various nationwide projects are implemented to engage and support the Afghan community. These include information campaigns, educational programs, training sessions, and networking events. The website serves as a central communication channel for these initiatives, making the results and opportunities visible to both participants and partners.
Safety and privacy
In designing and developing the website, great attention was paid to data protection, anonymous access to sensitive information, and secure communication. Visitors are not required to provide personal data to access most features. This ensures the privacy of users, which is crucial for audiences with a refugee background.
