- Engaging with young people in need (such as refugees and newly arrived migrants) to relieve them of poverty or distress;
- Providing funds to pay the education fees, offer educational support and create university scholarships for disadvantaged or impoverished Afghan children and university students who are in Afghanistan and other countries overseas.
- Creating partnerships with educational organisations operating in Afghanistan and overseas to identify disadvantaged recipients of the AAI’s funds and educational support and to distribute the AAI’s funds and educational support to those in need.
- Providing humanitarian assistance and donations for the immediate basic needs, aid, medical treatment and other support required for impoverished people in Afghanistan; victims of conflicts and terrorist attacks in Afghanistan; and victims of humanitarian crises in Afghanistan.
