USAID’s ASHA program funds projects in education and health care in foreign countries. The grants are available to secondary and post-secondary schools and medical centers. For overseas institutions to be eligible for these funds, they must be secured by a U.S.-based non-profit organization which has met ASHA’s criteria for sound organizational and financial practices. FABSIT has met these criteria and maintains a strong relationship with ASHA. As of October 2015, the organization has been the recipient of over $6.17 million in grants to develop infrastructure projects and programs at the American Board institutions.
“As the American Ambassador to Turkey, I have had ample opportunity to observe the excellent work of FABSIT here. The American Board Schools have produced an impressive array of Turkish leaders in virtually every field. The Hospital continues to serve an urgent need for high quality medical care. We heartily endorse the good work of this foundation.”
Mark R. Parris,
Former U.S. Ambassador to Turkey
