The Maihan Social and Cultural Community (Maihan-SCC) is a proud Afghan-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Oregon, serving as a vibrant hub for preserving and celebrating Afghanistan’s rich cultural heritage. Founded by dedicated Afghan Americans, Maihan-SCC is a beacon of cultural pride and unity in the Pacific Northwest.
Our mission is to celebrate and share Afghanistan’s history and traditions while fostering community for Afghans living in Oregon. Through programs such as cultural festivals, art exhibitions, language classes, culinary workshops, and community support services, we bring Afghan culture to life across Portland and the surrounding areas.
As a registered nonprofit, Maihan-SCC also provides educational resources to support Afghan immigrants, promote cross-cultural understanding, and strengthen ties with their homeland. Through our work, we highlight the resilience, strength, and diversity of the Afghan diaspora, offering a space to experience and celebrate the legacy of Afghan culture.
