Donors

The American University of Afghanistan was established as a result of the generosity of both Afghan and American donors. As a private university, it continues to rely on contributions from governments, organizations and private individuals, both in Afghanistan and around the world, to continue providing high-quality education to Afghanistan’s future leaders.
