The AAI Foundation, an internal program of Atheist Alliance International, supports educational projects - including through international exchanges - and advocates on behalf of atheists facing discrimination around the world, particularly in developing countries.
AAI Foundation projects include:
- Support for the Kasese Humanist Primary School in Uganda (2010 - present). AAI has contributed to, and collected donations for, projects including building construction, classroom renovations and the purchase of school equipment over a number of years. AAI also operates the student and teacher sponsorship program for Kasese School. In 2010 AAI arranged volunteer teaching assistants to spend a few months helping to establish Kasese School and other opportunities to work at this school are available.
- Campaign in defence of Alexander Aan (2012). Alexander is an Indonesian man attacked and arrested after posting 'God does not exist' on Facebook. AAI has worked with other groups to campaign for his release, for a change in Indonesian law and to fundraise to assist with Alexander's legal expenses.
| This is where you come in. AAI Foundation projects are funded primarily through directed donations to those specific projects. What we can do depends on the support we receive. There is a lot of work to do to further atheism and secularism in the world and we are always seeking additional projects, particularly in developing countries, where education and empirical knowledge can make huge improvements in the quality of life for communities. If you would like to donate to the AAI Foundation or any of its designated projects, please visit our Donate page. |
