Awal is an international development company harnessing technology and innovation to improve the lives of those in underdeveloped or underrepresented countries. We were founded based on the belief that development projects need to be faster, smarter, and innovative when it comes to creating positive impact for people, communities, and nations.. We are not satisfied with slow and conventional growth models and techniques, used by more traditional development firms. We are a young and diverse team; our team is comprised of young professionals with experience in international development, system engineering, application development, data science and analytics, products sales and management, business and finance sectors, and digital e-commerce. We are a global team; our headquarters is in Kabul, Afghanistan, but we have team members in the US, UK, Australia, Norway, and other places. We are a driven and passionate company; all our members are committed to making positive impacts in international development using technology-based systems.

We think big as we take lessons learned from our team members’ combined decades of experience and previous projects to bridge the gap between the fast-paced technology sectors and the impact-driven international development world. We partner with government entities, private companies, non-government organizations, and international organizations. Our team members thrive in a fast-paced, impact-driven, and truly diverse and collaborative workplace. The ideal candidates to join our team not only meet the basic requirements for the position, but are willing to learn, collaborate, and expand their areas of responsibility and expertise as the team needs.

Awal is dedicated to making things better for all people. We were found based on the belief that we need to be faster, smarter and innovative when it comes to developing people, communities, and nations; that is the world’s most urgent need right now. We are not satisfied with slow and conventional growth models and techniques; thus, we have formed together from different sectors, putting technology and innovation first to tackle the world’s hardest problems. Our openness to testing ideas comes from our people, affiliated organizations, and experts in areas such as information technology, international development, research, e-commerce, finance, and philanthropy that makes us a unique institution that can deliver the highest quality of work under the hardest circumstances. Furthermore, Awal partners with private companies, organizations, governments, and individuals to provide non-conventional solutions to problems. And we think big, about applying lessons learned across all of our projects, about bridging the gap between segregated technical fields and about forging partnerships that unite the world’s best minds to solve its toughest problems.

FAST

We believe in a quick turnaround from inception to products. What we do plays an important role in the world – one reason we exist is the sheer ambition of changing lives quickly, for the better.

 

DISRUPTIVE

we are committed to providing solutions that bring extraordinary results and for that, we cannot afford to work the traditional way. We are only successful when things improve considerably; we celebrate when we get positive results exponentially.

DIVERSE

we love to collaborate and integrate with different entities (individuals, companies, organizations, and governments), fields of practice, knowledge, cultures, countries, and personalities. We know we will do better when we have different opinions; we listen to each other and collectively find the best way to do things

PASSIONATE

We only commit to work that we are passionate about, if we do not believe that the work has an impact that we will be proud of; we will not take it. But if we do, we will not take it as a job; we will be your most reliable partner who has as much at stake as you.

Awal is committed to tackling the world’s challenges with innovative initiatives.
