About Afghan-American Women's Association

The very existence of A-AWA is a timely response to the growing needs of the Afghan Community residing in the Washington Metropolitan area. Our organization represents a safe harbor where social and cultural services, as well as sincere steadfast support for all manner of adversity can be obtained. Bringing awareness to our community regarding critical challenges and relevant issues breeds resolution and unity.

A-AWA is committed to serve as the linchpin connecting the Afghan-American community to the mainstream through its Life and Cope educational program, offering a professional platform to network, and smoothly integrate while preserving their dignity and rich culture. Since its inception, A-AWA has remained an all-volunteer based organization focused on ensuring services are offered in highly positive and nondiscriminatory spirit, with utmost professionalism, fairness, highly ethical and culturally sensitive manner. A-AWA continues to gain the trust of the community and steadily works towards its mission with strong principles and norms.

A-AWA provides a platform for the Afghan community to preserve culture and values, by offering resources and support to integrate and become productive members of society.

A-AWA’s vision is to build a Community Center, which will serve as a permanent structural foundation where the Afghan community can benefit from coordinated services aimed at preserving their culture and heritage and to unite the whole community together allowing them to reach their full potential.
