Over 30 million people.  More than 30 years of war.  One way forward.

The key to the rebuilding of Afghanistan is in the education, training, and dedication of its next generation of leaders.  In a country with too much poverty, too many guns and too few roads, hospitals and schools, Afghans must struggle against the threat of Islamic fundamentalism, a culture of corruption and a booming drug trade.

By giving Afghanistan’s brightest and hardest-working students a chance to learn at the best schools in the world and work with the most influential nonprofits and companies in the world, ASI promotes the human development and cultural understanding Afghanistan needs to move forward.
