“Dear President, thank you for your wholehearted support and I am confident that it will inspire others to lend their support to this worthy cause,” the official letter from the AFC President stated.
The Foundation outlined that the new and transparent organisation will provide funds and work with major NGOs in the areas of Children and Young People, Health, Education and Integrity, Social Inclusion and Diversity and Humanitarian Aid.

This work, along with new partnerships with UN and other agencies will be included under the umbrella of the new AFC Dream Asia Foundation.
