The Society of Afghan Engineers was formed
in 1993 by a group of Afghan engineers in Northern Virginia
and surrounding areas who believe that they have a moral
responsibility to help the grief-stricken people of Afghanistan.
This Society is not an agency of the Afghan Government
or any other government. In addition, they are careful
not to encroach upon, bypass, or circumvent the legal
authority of the agencies of the Afghan Government in
advocating financial and technical aid from donor organizations.
Rather, the Society is designed to serve as a catalyst
or consultant to governments or institutions interested
in receiving or providing financial and technical assistance
for the reconstruction of Afghanistan. As a nonprofit,
501(c)(3) organization, the SAE is tax-exempt and is authorized
to engage in cultural, educational, literary, and charitable
activities. |
