2023 has been a year of milestones at the American University of Afghanistan. We enrolled more students – including a majority women – than at any point in our seventeen-year history, online and at our branch campus in Qatar. We launched the new Transition to Success program, which enables high-school-aged girls to regain progress after two full years of school and university closures. Our IT Bootcamps, also for high-school girls, gave hundreds the opportunity to study computer science and coding while building confidence and acquiring soft skills. And we accomplished much else besides, as illustrated below, with support from USAID, the Department of State, the State of Qatar, and many individual donors.
For the third year in a row, we’ve been able to do all of this without charging our students a single dollar in tuition or fees. This is possible because of our community’s commitment to high-quality education for the deserving, talented, and ambitious young people of Afghanistan.
Please consider making a gift to celebrate what we’ve achieved together in 2023 and allow us to enter 2024 with the confidence of your support.
Sincerely,
Ian Bickford
President, American University of Afghanistan
