American Women for International Understanding (AWIU) is an organization dedicated to support and promote female leaders around the world. Through our advocacy, grant program, and recognition awards, we want to make sure that at-risk women have the resources they need, and the right, to make a difference in their countries. Since August 2021, in Afghanistan, that right has been extinguished.

We are actively pursuing opportunities to help the women of Afghanistan. Our recent donation to the Friends of the American University in Afghanistan was our first step and we will not stop until there are options for women beyond Taliban oppression and violence. Let’s continue on this path – through fundraising, resettlement assistance, and networking in support of Afghan women.

Ambassador Tatiana C. Gfoeller
President, AWIU

The women and children victimized by the crisis in Afghanistan need your help! AWIU recently made a significant sponsorship donation to the 2021 Benefit Event for Friends of the American University of Afghanistan, thanks to your Afghanistan-allocated donations.
