Erfan Project
Who was Erfan?
Erfan Dashti, 22 years old,
born and living in Tehran,
was a student of accounting.
After the killing of Mahsa (Jina) Amini in the Iranian Morality and Hijab Police, he – like many other protesters – took to the streets to demonstrate against this state killing.
On October 18, when he left his home intending to join street protests, he was abducted by unknown individuals. Three days later, his body was found in the forests around Tehran.
On October 23, 2022, the police handed over his body to his family.
There were clear signs of torture on Erfan’s body, but no institution accepted responsibility for his abduction and murder.
Erfan Project Goals
•Direct support for the homeless in the cold of winter

The Erfan Project – Winter Package of Hope
Companionship for warmth and hope
The Erfan project was launched with a dual purpose:
On the one hand, to support female heads of household who prepare winter products with their capable hands, and on the other hand, to support the homeless in Germany who need help more than ever in the cold of winter.

Our goal
We have decided to connect two vulnerable groups by creating a humanitarian cycle:
•Female heads of household earn income by preparing and preparing winter package products and strengthen their financial independence.
•Street sleepers in Germany experience warmth, peace and hope by receiving these packages.
