ABOUT US

We are committed to fostering unity, reconciliation, and empowerment among the diverse communities of Afghanistan. Founded with the vision of becoming a bridge for all Afghans, ABI aims to bridge the gaps that exist between various communities within Afghanistan and connect Afghan youth to the world. We believe that through dialogue, education, and empowerment, we can create a society that embraces diversity, promotes accountability, and offers equal opportunities for all.

 

Through these initiatives, we create platforms for open, respectful, and constructive conversations among diverse groups, fostering understanding and building stronger relationships. We believe that by bridging gaps, promoting understanding, and empowering Afghan youth, we can contribute to a more peaceful, harmonious, and prosperous society.

Afghan Bridging

OUR APPROACH

ABI takes a multifaceted approach to achieve its goals. We believe in the power of dialogue and debate to bridge divides and foster understanding. Through seminars, workshops, and debates, we bring together representatives from different ethnic communities to engage in open and respectful conversations. These platforms provide a safe space for individuals to share their perspectives, experiences, and aspirations, fostering empathy and mutual respect.
  • Recognizing the importance of accountability

    We also recognize the importance of accountability and transparency in governance. To promote trust between Afghan youth and government officials, we facilitate dialogue sessions where young individuals can voice their concerns, ask questions, and engage in constructive discussions. By encouraging youth participation in decision-making processes and policy formulation, we aim to ensure their voices are heard and considered.

  • Leadership and civic engagement training

    In addition, we provide leadership and civic engagement training to empower Afghan youth. Through workshops, mentorship programs, and networking opportunities, we equip them with the necessary skills and resources to initiate and implement community-driven projects. We also organize events and campaigns to raise awareness about social issues and encourage youth participation in community development activities.
