ACAA was established in 2001 by Dr. Nooralhaq Nasimi, who left Afghanistan with his young family in 1999. Dr. Nasimi wanted to help other refugees, so he began organising cultural events and day trips for the Afghan community in London. Since then, the organisation has flourished and since developed into a vibrant organisation working to free refugees and newcomers from the isolating feelings which can come with migration.
