Civic Engagement
Rawabit Foundation works for fostering civic engagement, advocating digital rights and supporting internet access for all. We work with Afghans in Afghanistan and abroad to help build a better understanding of pressing issues. Join us in supporting community dialogue and digital rights for Afghans everywhere.
Rawabit Foundation (Rawabit means connections) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Afghans in Afghanistan and across the diaspora.
We work at the intersection of technology, human rights, and community engagement to address today’s most urgent challenges.
Our focus includes digital rights, women’s empowerment, refugee protection, civic engagement, and countering exploitation.
Who We Are
Vision
We envision a world where people can express themselves freely and connect with each other, building bridges through understanding and collaboration.
Everyone should be able to access free and safe internet, express themselves without fear, protect their rights, and rebuild their communities with dignity and security. At Rawabit Foundation, we strive to turn this vision into reality for Afghans and beyond.
Rawabit Foundation protects digital freedoms and defends human rights for Afghans worldwide.
We empower communities—especially women, youth, journalists, and refugees—with tools, training, and advocacy to thrive in the digital age.
Our work safeguards vulnerable groups from repression, exploitation, trafficking, and modern slavery. Through education, technology, and civic engagement, we enable Afghans to live, learn, and participate fully in society.
