Why support Afghanaid? Expand As a philanthropic partner of Afghanaid, you can provide Afghans in some of the most underserved areas of the country with the training and tools they need to help themselves, their families and their communities. Since 1983, led by a team that is over 95% Afghan, our dedicated staff have worked with millions of families in some of the poorest and most remote communities in Afghanistan. With our deep understanding of local, cultural and ethnic issues and our community-led approach, we have earned great trust and respect among the communities we serve throughout our 4 decades of service. We know the key to transforming rural communities in Afghanistan lies in the untapped potential of some of the most marginalised members of society. Recognising this, our programming particularly target households that are most at risk – including women-headed families, or households with elderly, chronically ill or disabled family members. Decades of research, and our own experience, shows that where marginalised people are directly involved, communities become more inclusive, prosperous, and strong. In this moment of urgent and unmatched need, few organisations operating in Afghanistan are better placed to ensure that ordinary men, women and children can survive and thrive. With your generous support, we can continue to deliver holistic, agile and sustainable solutions for many years to come. Find out more about What We do
What impact could my philanthropy have? Expand “I am very happy and heartily thankful to Afghanaid for supporting me and other poor families in our village!” Thanks to the generous contributions of one of our philanthropic partners, last year Mariam* was able to receive cash assistance to help her buy food, warm blankets, a heater, and clothes for her children during the cold winter months. This partnership allowed us to help a further 413 households like Mariam's in the same area, supporting them to meet their basic food needs and keep their families safe and warm during a time when resources were scarce.
