Afghanistan & Central Asian Association

Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

The Afghanistan and Central Asian Association (ACAA) is an award-winning, Afghan-led charity founded in 1999 in the UK. It supports migrants and refugees through culturally sensitive services that empower displaced people and advocate for their rights in the UK and internationally. ACAA’s work extends to Afghanistan, where it delivers emergency aid—food, water, clothing, medicine—and runs long-term initiatives such as online education, legal advice, and housing support, particularly vital since the Taliban’s return. Founded by Afghan refugees, ACAA brings lived experience to its programmes and engages actively in advocacy, collaborating with policymakers, hosting events, and amplifying refugee voices to shape more inclusive policies and public understanding.
