The Association of Hazaras in Victoria

In partnership with the Victorian Afghan Associations Network

Grant round: 2016

Amount: $7,500

This project aimed to better inform the Afghan community on telecommunication issues such as internet plans, mobile phone data usage, phone bills, bill payment issues, how to make complaints and where to go for help. Through local partners, a series of information sessions were held, where community members got to learn about phone and internet services in Australia. Educational material was also disseminated through brochures and multiple articles in the Association of Hazaras’ magazine, Arman Monthly. All resources were delivered in a linguistically appropriate manner, translated from English to Dari.
