LOVE what these folks are up to ... to the point of wishing I could return to Afghanistan (taught English there for three years) with them. One day, I hope!

AAFF continues to provide not only education and food assistance, but also encouragement to the people of Afghanistan by letting them know they are not forgotten. At a time when many organizations are not able to continue work in this area, AAFF's history of good work and positive relations in the community says so much about how their staff have earned trust and respect. I am happy to support the work they are doing. It is particularly vital when there is so much need and few others can do this work.

This organization is providing basic needs for people in a part of the world that many have forgotten. Basic food and water are being provided to the most vulnerable. In addition, they are providing opportunities for girls to learn and grow.

AAFF is doing fantastic work and have remained committed to working inside of Afghanistan even in the increasingly difficult operating environment of the last two years. AAFF is still empowering and educating girls in Afghanistan. The staff are dedicated and able to stretch each dollar to serve as many people as possible. I worked in a Afghanistan in another NGO for several years and have seen first-hand AAFF's remarkable impact.

AAFF does so much for the people of the country. From food distribution, to well building and maintenance, to computer and education centers for girls, AAFF ensures that they meet the needs of the people, including physical, mental and emotional. They are boots on the ground and work hard to build and keep services built in true partnership with the community. They don't come in as saviors, they prioritize the dignity of the people they serve. That's why I have complete faith giving my money and time to this group.

AAFF is making a real difference in the lives of Afghanistan. In 2012, they built 25 wells. In 2013, they built 5 more wells, providing water for 15,000 families. In 2015, they finished the Gohar Khatoon girls' school, which has received community praise, national recognition, and architectural awards. Best of all, the employees and work are all done by nationals, making sure the benefits are going back to the community. I love this organization.

AAFF h as a remarkable vision! The schools which they build and the teachers they help train are deeply impacting communities committed to stabilization of their nation. Having seen first hand the classrooms, listened to the teachers, heard the joy of students being given opportunity to learn and dream....it's magical! The staff is handing local people the keys to changing our world! It's incredible to be a part of something so profound!

What a heart for the people of Afghanistan these folks have! They have poured their lives into helping them, and their efforts have been very fruitful. As I have read of the difficulties they've faced and the courage and determination they have had to stick with the task, I have come to respect them so very much. And I am not alone.

We appreciate the cooperation and support of the local government and hope to continue this relationship. More schools are needed and AAFF will continue to hold education as one of its core values.

The director has gained the respect of the citizens and the government in Afghanistan by being the transparent and caring person that he is. He listens to the needs of the people around him with compassion, and has a sense for how the organization can help, whether it's building a school or digging a well. Any of the projects taken on by AAFF are done well and with pride.
