Do the Write Thing (DtWT) was born out of the Kuwait-America Foundation’s (KAF) desire to reduce youth violence in communities across the United States and its consequences on the lives of youth.

Mission
The Kuwait-America Foundation invests in extraordinary people and bold ideas at the intersection of community, connection, and impact.
As an extension of the gratitude and generosity of the people of Kuwait, the Kuwait-America Foundation was founded upon the core mission of strengthening ties between the people of the United States and Kuwait.
Today, KAF continues that legacy by partnering with and supporting individuals, communities, and organizations committed to co-creating a stronger future where human potential is advanced and intercultural relationships thrive.
