Sustained tuition-free model and student services
ADAF has maintained a tuition-free model for ADA students while providing daily nutritious meals, uniforms and targeted transportation support, enabling consistent school attendance and advancing educational outcomes for vulnerable families.
Recent U.S. donor engagement and youth programming
In 2024–2026 ADAF launched new U.S.-facing engagement efforts including a Youth Ambassador Program (2025–26) and public fundraising events and multimedia campaigns to broaden donor participation and support annual operating needs.
