We are dedicated to supporting higher education in Afghanistan through entities such as AUAF, Afghanistan’s only independent, private, not for profit, non-sectarian, coeducational institution of higher learning. In an effort to raise awareness for AUAF, Friends of AUAF hosts large-scale events across the United States to cultivate prospective donors; facilitates small corporate briefings; and advocates for continued educational development in Afghanistan.
In addition to awareness events, Friends of AUAF is dedicated to forming partnerships with other organizations supporting Afghanistan and education, as well as soliciting monetary support from public and private donors.
