Hyderabad Association of Washington Metropolitan Area
HAWMA is a social and cultural organization, run entirely by unpaid volunteers, dedicated to preserving Hyderabad’s cultural heritage while advancing education for underprivileged students. Since 1993, our core mission has been to raise resources in the United States to support students in Hyderabad and its rural areas, enabling them and their families to become productive members of society.
From a modest beginning 32 years ago, HAWMA has grown to meet increasing needs—raising over $50,000 at last year’s virtual fundraising event, up from $15,000 just seven years prior. We are deeply grateful to our valued patrons whose continued support has made this growth possible, and who look forward each year to participating in our annual fundraiser.
Our assistance focuses on areas where the Muslim community forms a large portion of the population, recognizing that education and literacy levels among Muslims remain disproportionately low. However, HAWMA’s support in Hyderabad is entirely non-denominational, extending to individuals from all communities. Our guiding principle is simple: to help those in need, regardless of their community or religious affiliation.
Thank you for your continued support!
