Welcome from Hon. Ehsan Bayat, Chairman

Thank you for participating in the Afghan Trusted Network and for sharing your individual resources, best practices and networks for the greater good of the Afghan people. We've come together in the Network knowing we can make progress in spite of difficult circumstances. Our actions are important not only because of their immediate impact, but also because they help strengthen the fabric of the Afghan society. Through our collaboration we can leverage our expertise and resources to provide education, jobs and training that contribute to a safer and more peaceful Afghanistan built upon prosperity and opportunity. We must reinforce traditional culture and values of family and children by meeting their basic human needs for healthcare, food, shelter and clothing. But most importantly, we will be bringing desparately needed hope to men, women and children who cannot meet the challenge alone, and helping them build a new future for Afghanistan.

Network for Afghanistan

Fatema Bayat, Executive Director: On June 30, 2009 at the Afghan Symposium for Humanitarian and Leadership Engagement in Washington, DC, a group of 125 leaders from all sectors met to form the Afghan Trusted Network to help strengthen the foundation of Afghanistan's civil society by engaging leadership and leveraging private, humanitarian and public sector capabilities. Our goal is to facilitate improved quality of life and generate training and education through mentoring, jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities for the people including the youth, the next generation leaders of Afghanistan.

The Honorable Said Tayeb Jawad

Former Afghan Ambassador to the United States: The people and the government of Afghanistan are grateful for the friendship and support from the government and people of the United States. Your contribution of creating hope and jobs in Afghanistan is the best way of contributing to security in Afghanistan, stability in the region and security in the world... channeling the assistance of other organizations to reach out to Afghans, but most importantly helping out other for-profit and non-profit organizations to create a network to create a synergy between these different capabilities.

Hon. Zal Khalilzad

Former Ambassador to the UN, Iraq & Afghanistan: The challenge for the Afghans and for those who are helping Afghanistan is how to move out of this period of difficulty, of crisis, to meet the current needs in a desparate situation through humanitarian assistance and at the same time focus on economic development, security and political freedom, all of which must interact to produce success. This balance between meeting current needs with humanitarian help, and focusing on how to bring about development, self-reliance, and prosperity is extremely important, with the ultimate goal of Afghans able to look after themselves. This kind of self-reliance is a challenge, possible only through your continued commitment and action.
