Vision Statement:
The Afghan American Business Alliance envisions a world where forcibly displaced Afghan refugees can use their skills and talents to establish a good life now, and a better life tomorrow. But, unfortunately, in countries where they find themselves at a loss when it comes to showing or using their skills. Hence, they are relegated to the public assistance rolls where they and their families languish in a state of permanent uncertainty and dependence. The Afghan American Business Alliance, by engaging the government refugee servicing organizations, the business sector and the local communities, will create a safe, legal pathway that will enable the refugees to transition from welfare to “workfare,” and to resume their careers, and rebuild their lives with dignity. Mission Statement:
We have made it our mission to steer welfare recipients away from public assistance rolls towards gainful self -employment that offers dignity, self-esteem, short hours and a living income. We will match skilled refugees with local companies in need of their skills as well as introducing them to business opportunities for establishing their own businesses, and giving them a chance to rebuild their careers and lives. We will share our learning so that others can access the pathway we are opening, Our model can be replicated nationwide. We will also expand our business model to restore justice impacted individuals with dignified ways of smooth reentry, and re-integration into the society.
