Who they are
The Northeast Pashayi inhabit the remote, mountainous valleys of Afghanistan at the foot of the Hindu Kush range. With their own language and a strong devotion to community traditions, they preserve a singular cultural identity shaped by geographical isolation. Terraced agriculture, pastoralism, and family honor define the daily life of this resilient people, who hold to a deep and historic Islamic faith.
