Education: Scholarships and academic pathways for Afghan students
Vocational Training: Skills development for employability and self-reliance
Entrepreneurship: Mentorship and seed funding for refugee-led ventures

Meet the resilient entrepreneurs who turned challenges into opportunities with the support of our programs
“When I lost everything, I thought my dreams were over. But with the support of Afghan Future Fund, I found hope again. Today, I am not just surviving—I am building my own business and shaping a better future for my community”
Let’s not forget that we are not just graduates. We are advocates. We have learned how to stand up for justice, for fairness, and for those whose voices are not heard. So, wherever we go next— whether it’s a law firm, a nonprofit, or a courtroom—let’s use our knowledge to make a difference. Let’s keep pushing for a world where no one is left behind.
“This scholarship gave me hope and purpose, opened doors to the U.S. job market, and helped me pursue the future I had always dreamed of. It’s been a true blessing—providing recognition, support, and the confidence to navigate my career path.”
“The Refugee Entrepreneurship Program gave me the structure and support I needed to turn my vision into a viable business. It reminded me that being a refugee isn’t a limitation—it’s a source of strength and resilience.”
“The program gave us guidance, structure, and a strong network that pushed our startup forward. It helped us turn a real need into a real solution.”
“The program helped refine my business model, identify key challenges, and gave me the confidence to present my vision. It was a turning point for me as an entrepreneur.”
“Before coming to the Enabled Children School, my daughter Zainab was isolated, quiet, and emotionally withdrawn. After losing her father, I raised her alone and constantly worried about her future. But over time, this ECI school has changed our lives. Zainab has grown emotionally, socially, and behaviorally. To me, the ECI school has been more than just a school — it has taken on the role of a father in raising my daughter.”
“QSAP gave me the opportunity to pursue my Master’s at James Madison University. Studying at JMU helped me grow tremendously as a person. While the experience came with its challenges, it eventually felt like a second home. I’m truly grateful for the friendships I built and the incredible support I received from the JMU community.”
“The Afghan Future Fund provides invaluable support to America’s wartime Afghan allies and other at-risk Afghans. Afghan Future Fund is an incredible partner to No One Left Behind, and we were honored to team up with them for the American Allies Scholarship Program. This program provides scholarships of up to $20,000 for deserving Afghan and Iraqi Special Immigrant Visa recipients — through the generosity of the Afghan Future Fund, America’s allies now have support in raising their level of education, advancing their careers, and building a freer and more prosperous future.”
