Evacuating eligible people at risk, from nations in crises. Helping them find safety, dignity, and a new beginning.

About us

Established on August 16th, 2021 as a federally incorporated Canadian nonprofit and non-governmental organization, Aman Lara emerged in response to the escalating security and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The organization was founded with a distinct purpose — to aid vulnerable Afghans who supported Canadian missions in evacuating and finding refuge in Canada and other safe jurisdictions. Since then, we have evolved into a key advocate for Afghans who risked their lives in support of Canadian missions while also demonstrating resilience and adaptability to address emerging crises within the changing landscape of global refugee needs. Aman Lara stands as a testament to the collaboration between serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans, ex-Locally Employed Staff, and dedicated Canadian volunteers. This unique alliance underscores our commitment to a shared mission: to enable the evacuation of eligible people at risk, from nations in crises, for the purpose of resettlement in Canada and other safe resettlement jurisdictions helping them find safety, dignity, and a new beginning in welcoming communities. From navigating the complexities of evacuating vulnerable Afghans amidst the deteriorating security situation in August 2021 to responding swiftly and flexibly to the outbreak of war in Ukraine in February 2022, Aman Lara serves as a vital lifeline for those in dire circumstances, providing pathways for safe resettlement.

    According to the UN Environment Programme, over the last 60 years, at least 40% of all internal conflicts have been linked to exploiting natural resources, and conflicts involving resources are twice as likely to relapse. 🕊️ On International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict, we recognize that there can be no lasting peace if the natural resources that sustain livelihoods and ecosystems are destroyed.   At Aman Lara, we support those who must rebuild their lives after environmental degradation and conflict, advocating for safe, sustainable futures. 🌿
