A GUIDE FOR THE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN
This section is part of our Second Edition (First Edition published 1999)
Compiled and prepared by the team, friends, supporters of Afghan Academy International to support the Afghan people around the world at this time of crisis. As an independent voluntary community organisation, Afghan Academy International is the first educational, cultural, arts and social group working in the UK since the early 1980s. For further information please contact us.
Whilst every attempt has been made to ensure the validity of the information, there may be some discrepancies and may require further updates to ensure it is providing the most accurate information. Please note that we at the Academy do not provide consular or immigration advice and have added the emergency contact numbers below to provide some form of support for the Afghan people around the world and those who are supporting them. Please let us know if the numbers and links are not working as we have no control over the numbers and links provided by other agencies because they may change without our knowledge. We will continue updating this page and advice for you to return to this and the other sites to get the latest updates.
We thank you in advance for your collaboration.
