The ADFP has lost its most prominent supporter and dear collaborator, Sami Naadi
26.08.2024
It is with great sorrow that we have learned of the passing of Sami Naadi, the renowned and distinguished Afghan-American sculptor, on August 25, 2024. With forty years of experience in sculpture and drawing, his work has garnered many admirers in both Europe and the United States. Two of his sculptures are housed in the White House, where they have been highly regarded by art enthusiasts.
Sami Naadi was undoubtedly one of Afghanistan’s foremost sculptors, living in the United States and striving to preserve Afghan history through the art of sculpture. He began learning the art of sculpture in 1979 at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Kabul, where he demonstrated extraordinary talent from the start. This talent later earned him a scholarship from the Ministry of Higher Education, allowing him to study professionally in Minsk, in the former Soviet Union, where he attained a master’s degree in this esteemed art form.
The late Naadi created numerous works across Europe and America, earning high honors in both domestic and international exhibitions. In addition to his high artistic standing, he was known for his remarkable humanitarian spirit, contributing selflessly to human rights and social services organizations.
The ADFP also had the privilege of a close relationship with him, continually benefiting from his support and collaboration. We extend our deepest condolences to the Naadi family, the artistic community, and the free thinkers of Afghanistan on this profound loss.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory be cherished.

Our Vision
We apply new SMEs of a meeting of minds that can effectively sustain the fields of education, culture, human rights values, freedom of expression, civil rights, tolerance as well as intercultural dialogue that promotes equality, respect for non-Intrusive “Otherness” activities, public health serveries and peace by non-confrontational public round-table dialogues.
Introduction
what wE do
No Girl Child should Be Left Behind In Afghanistan
ADFPCIC is a London registered NGO with a global network of Afghan professionals. We aim to raise funding for needy women and girl children of Afghanistan by making it easier for Afghan small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to connect effectively with UK SMEs. Adfp supports value-add manufacturing and trade relationships based on modern fabrication, processing, or preparation of products from raw materials and commodities and including foods, chemicals, textiles, machines, equipment and all refined metals and minerals derived from extracted ores and gemstones.
The challenges endured by the women and girl children of Afghanistan are largely across countries at all levels of development. SMEs play an important role in creating jobs and using our global memberships encourage the meeting of minds to encourage the employment of women with ownership options in SME economic activities.
Education is the key to empower the women and girl children of Afghanistan to participate in sustainable greater economic inclusiveness as entrepreneurs and in the workforce, a particularly thorny subject in Afghanistan where we are working diligently with the relevant governments to urge non confrontational roundtable engagements.
In spite of women’s history of contribution in the Afghanistan economy and society, they tend to be grossly underrepresented in local SMEs, a scenario that ADFPCIC is working to change by practical partnerships underpinned by the UK SMEs. The UK market may account for a small proportion of Afghan exports but we intend these exports to grow exponentially by including women in overall activities.
Afghan SMEs have fewer resources to meet the high costs often associated with engaging in international markets, and ADFP members would be eligible despite some funding challenges to access vast Afghan natural resources and would be underpinned by UK economic interest funding the new UK – Afghan SME’ relationships enduring mutual benefit.
The rise of global value chains (GVCs) and digital transformation offer new opportunities for the UK – Afghan SMEs to integrate into the global economy. adfpcic.com is engaging with the UK Parliament through the Genesis Initiative London to urge for the best UK policy and consultation environment to help SMEs grow in the respective countries and beyond.
