Founded in 2002, Asia America Initiative (AAI) strives to develop communities affected by poverty, natural disaster, and armed conflict. The organization is dedicated to working in difficult areas where others may have given up. AAI believes in respecting the talent and insight of local people, respecting their dignity and providing educational resources, public health and other tools to infuse confidence in communities to build a positive future.

Their mission is to instill hope and empower communities affected by armed conflict and severe poverty. Our goal is to design integrated local programs that can be replicated globally.
