About

We are a collection of folks who have devoted their lives to the Kurdish people, in places near and far.

Kani Book Club exists to serve the spiritual, cultural, and social needs of the Nashville Kurdish community.

Why Nashville? We live here and Kurds live here, so many in fact that it’s known as “Little Kurdistan.”

Why Kurds? To put it simply, God loves Kurds.

Why now? The community is still growing and changing and we want to help in that often painful process.

Our name comes from the Kurdish word for spring (kani), a reflection of Jesus’ hopeful words to a needy woman in search of water.
