Launched in 2015, the Karim Khan Afridi Welfare Foundation (KKAWF) is a premier civil society foundation working for youth empowerment, with a mission to raise awareness and to educate young populations on the harms of drug use.
About KKAWF
KKAWF implements evidence-based drug prevention education programmes built on international prevention standards, working through schools, universities, parents and communities rather than through one-off awareness campaigns.

Smart Forum is KKAWF’s technology partner. Our Clear Minds platform digitises the foundation’s prevention curriculum so it reaches young people at scale, with anonymised reporting that lets schools and funders see the programme’s genuine reach.
