Focus Areas

AGFUND believes in the sustainability of human development and poverty alleviation and struggles to enable vulnerable groups (women and children, people with special needs, displaced people and refugees etc..) to exercise their civil rights in their communities and lead a dignified social and economic existence with improved living conditions. AGFUND focuses in the following areas.

Early Childhood Development

Children and women are the two categories targeted by AGFUND in its efforts to support and finance human development projects in developing communities.

Women’s Empowerment

A significant conviction in AGFUND methodology is that many development deficiencies in Arab communities are caused by absence of women participation in community development.

Civil Society Development

AGFUND realized that civil society is the right hand of governments not only in development, but also in mustering idle economic and human resources and powers, in engaging all societal categories in this process not leaving anyone under poverty and deprivation.

Education

Education is the catalyst of change, which is the basis of sustainable development. AGFUND depends on the quality and penetration of education to qualify, train and make manpower up to modern life requirements.
