Jalal Foundation

About Jalal Foundation

Jalal Foundation was established in 2006 in response to the needs and demands of women and youth who believed in Dr. Massouda Jalal's leadership and vision for Afghanistan. Women leaders, activists, and scholars rallied around her and asked her to continue her efforts for the promotion of women’s rights, democracy, and peace through a non-governmental organization led by Afghan women and dedicated solely to the advancement of the agenda of democracy, human rights, and peace in Afghanistan. Dr. Jalal responded by bringing their organizations together and establishing the Jalal Foundation and its network of 50+ NGOs and Women’s Councils from around the country.

The Jalal Foundation (and its network) was established because the NGOs and Women’s Councils believed that they would find strength in solidarity. Jalal Foundation serves as its convener which facilitates learning from each other, mutual support in project implementation, and coordinated resource mobilization and programming in specific geographic and thematic areas.
