Our Purpose​​

In such an environment, accomplishing even the simplest tasks can be slow and frustrating.We are especially committed to empowering small and medium-sized business leaders—particularly women—to create and grow sustainable businesses in one of the most challenging business environments in the world. These entrepreneurs are the backbone of economic resilience, and supporting their success is vital to the future of the country.​
Our objective is to create opportunities for individuals and organizations positively impacting Afghanistan to come together, develop business skills, access appropriate technologies, share knowledge, ask questions, exchange information, and solve problems collectively.By fostering collaboration, sharing vital information and resources, and addressing challenges as a community, we aim to enhance the impact, sustainability, and pace of initiatives driving progress and building a more hopeful future for Afghanistan.
