The Kalaam Project has been providing on the ground humanitarian aid in Afghanistan for the past two years. In our efforts to expand, we have created Kalaam Global; an effort to provide aid to communities worldwide, starting right here in Chicago. We hope you decide to break pomegranates with us and share your stories on February 1st.
We look forward to hosting you! Please reach out to the Kalaam team via Instagram for any questions or concerns!
