Our Services for Community Growth
IACCO is in the process of establishing an educational for families of Afghan heritage to educate their children with their traditions, values including teaching the Islamic principles, Quran recitation, their national languages of Pashto, Dari language and other culturally-focused activities.
The IACCO has been committed to provide full emotional support when there is a death in the community. IACCO has a comprehensive funeral and burial services plan including the paperwork, transportation of the deceased body from the hospital to the Afghan Community Cemetery, the Taghseel, Takfeen, Jenaza prayer and Tadfeen.
The IACCO has plans to pay for funeral and burial expenses if the deceased has a continuous membership in IACCO within the past six months and has paid for his/her share of the land purchase for cemetery, and does not carry any outstanding balance of membership fees. IACCO has plans to pay the member’s current estimated expenses of two thousand dollars for their Kafan, Fateha and Khatem-e Quran expenses.
Non-members costs:
- $2500 Service fee for paperwork, coffin, transportation, fateha, and Khatem-e-Quran.
