Our Work
Do the Write Thing
(DtWT)
Founded in Washington, D.C. in 1994, DtWT is a writing program for middle school students that positions them as community catalysts as they examine and share the root causes and impact of youth violence.
Global Initiatives
The Kuwait-America Foundation partners with dedicated organizations in the United States and globally to support people and projects around the world. Launched in 2005 by Sheikha Rima Al-Sabah, UNHCR National Goodwill Ambassador and wife of the Ambassador of the State of Kuwait in Washington, D.C., KAF’s annual gala dinners have raised over $20 million dollars for organizations such as UNHCR and the USO.
Education
Since its inception, the Kuwait-America Foundation has focused its resources on education. In partnership with Georgetown University, KAF’s endowment fund provides graduate studies scholarships to promising students from the Arab world based on merit and need.
