Background
American Friends Alliance (AFA): Building Global Communities Since 2017
Our Story
The American Friends Alliance (AFA) was established in 2017 by a dedicated group of intellectuals and professionals united by a shared vision of humanitarian development and community empowerment. Headquartered in Pennsylvania, USA, AFA has grown from a local initiative into an independent, registered non-profit civil society organization with both national and international reach.
Our Foundation
Our founders brought together their extensive experience working with international institutions and non-profit organizations, recognizing the pressing needs within our communities. This rich background in the development sector shaped AFA's comprehensive approach to community service—one that transcends both geographical boundaries and sector limitations.
Our Approach
What sets American Friends Alliance apart is our commitment to Grassroots Engagement and Community Integration. We believe in breaking down barriers and building inclusive communities by creating opportunities for marginalized individuals to fully participate in community life, developing programs that bridge social gaps, and ensuring accessibility to services for all community members.

- Education and Skill Development: Vocational training, capacity building workshops, and professional development.
- Small-Scale Farming: Sustainable agriculture projects, community gardens, and food security programs.
- Community Development: Integration for special needs, social inclusion, and support for vulnerable populations.
