For centuries, the country has been used as a strategic stronghold, as internal and external political forces struggle for power. Today, civilians are still caught in the crossfire. With a proud, strong, and loving culture, Afghani people show kindness and generosity despite their desperate living conditions, and constant uncertainty.
We’re working to ensure communities have access to healthcare through mobile clinics travelling between camps and supporting remedial education for children struggling to attend school.
We are working with the people of Western Afghanistan in building a community where children can thrive. Already we have achieved great things.
students have attended hand-washing and hygiene awareness sessions.
female community leaders completed training in leadership, management and advocacy.
children have been supported with tutoring and stationery.
