Uyghur Projects Foundation is an America based and Uyghur led
non-profit tax-exempt 501 (C) 3 charity organization that gives
financial support to educational and other projects of Uyghur
communities outside China, and by doing so tries to preserve Uyghurs’
unique culture and spiritual traditions.
Uyghur Projects Foundation was founded in June of 2019, and is
headquartered in Irvine, California.
Beginning in 2017, the Communist Party in China initiated an inhumane
campaign to eradicate the Uyghur race and culture from the Uyghur’s
homeland, East Turkestan (aka Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region).
Unfortunately, China has been extremely successful in achieving their
goals, utilising their vast resources and national power. Currently
the language, customs, culture and religion of Uyghurs are all banned
in East Turkestan by the Chinese government. Under such conditions,
the ethnic identity of the Uyghurs cannot survive unless action is
taken beyond the Communist Party’s reach outside of China. To help
preserve the culture and the ethnic identity of the Uyghurs in the
Uyghur Diasporra, this foundation seeks to engage in projects that
promote the Uyghur cause. To help Uyghur Projects Foundation, please

goals.
