| Mission Statement |
The Hispanic-American Women’s Association (AHAM) has been formed with the purpose of uniting the Spanish speaking community of the
Upstate of South Carolina, to organize activities that allow us to enjoy our language, culture and folklore, and to raise money to provide
educational opportunities for students of Hispanic origin through scholarships.
We plan to organize and promote activities that will enable us to share our culture in order to create a better understanding of the Latin
Community in the Upstate of South Carolina and the world.
