Quotation from The Kite Runner : "Did all the

cooking, all the cleaning. Hassan tended to the
flowers in the garden, soaked the roots, picked off
yellowing leaves, and planted rose bushes."
(Hosseini, 219)
Through the functionality of the Polaris Project, the
crisis of slavery that the Hazaras are facing would
begin to slowly, but surely fade away. This service
would provide a much better and relaxed life for
victims of slavery. This would allow these victims to
not stress over very low paying jobs that lack their
interesting.
Amnesty International (Expose and Prevent Human
Right Injustices)

Quotation from The Kite Runner: "WE SHALL

THROW THE STONES BACK! [....] When it was all
over, the bloodied corpses had been
unceremoniously tossed into the backs of red
pickup trucks " (Hosseini, 283-285)
Through the functionality of Amnesty International,
the injustices of human rights that the Hazaras of
Afghanistan are facing, can be resolved. This
service would provide a better life for the people that
are facing such injustices with Human Rights. This
assistance would bump up their miserable life to a
more equal and exceptional lifestyle.
UNICEF (Child Protection)

Quotation from The Kite Runner : " His little hands

swiveled at the wrists, his fingers snapped and his
head swung side to side like a pendulum [...] The
two guards whistled and laughed." (Hosseini, 293)
The UNICEF organization helps Hazara children
by; promoting child protection, reducing child
mortality, support quality of learning, provide
lifesaving aid and long term assistance, empower
Hazara girls and women, and deliver supplies to
Hazara children that are most vulnerable. This
service covers two major crises, the mistreatment
of children and the degrading confidence of
women. This allows children to live in a better
quality of life and provides women with the
confidence they need to make a change in the
society.
Organization for the Prevention of Violence (Prevent
Violence)

Quotation from The Kite Runner : "So they took

[Hassan] to the street-- [...] --and ordered him to
kneel-- [...] --and shot him in the back of the head [...]
--Farzana cam screaming and attacked them-- [...] --
shot her too. " (Hosseini, 231)
Through the Organization for the Prevention of
Violence, the Hazaras of Afghanistan could live in a
much more peaceful and relaxed environment, with no
tension of being harmed. Further on in the novel, this
would not only help the Hazaras, but this would also
help the Pashtuns as well, from the reign of terror
caused by the Taliban.
Canadian Women’s Foundation (Support Women’s
Rights)

Quotation from The Kite Runner : " He was screaming at

her and cursing and saying the Ministry of Vice and
Virtue does not allow women to speak loudly. I cringed a
little at the position of power I'd been granted, and all
because I had won at the genetic lottery that had
determined my sex." (Hosseini, 157)
The Canadian Women’s Foundation powers
multiple organizations within itself, including;
Out of Violence, Out of Poverty, Empower Girls
and Inclusive Leadership. All these
organizations would be extremely useful for the
women in distress scattered across
Afghanistan. This would remove violence,
poverty, anxiety, poor confidence and would
leave a woman that is strong and courageous.
