Laal-U-Anar Foundation

Jawana

Jawana seeks to connect expatriate Afghan youth, bridging those differences that tear Afghans apart back home: differences of province, ethnic group, political affiliation, etc. Launched in Vienna, Austria in 2000, the Jawana Initiative brought these youth together in symposia. Together, they produce a popular magazine showcasing their articles and poetry. Through this initiative, these young people have been able to overcome many of the divisions that had driven them apart previously.
