What We Do

We build basic services, improve livelihoods, strengthen the rights of women and children, help communities protect against natural disasters, and respond to humanitarian emergencies. You can find out more about our work in each of these areas by clicking on the links below, or see where we work, and what our approach is. 

We couldn't do the work we do without you, which is why we value your trust so highly. Read our promise to you or donate today to help vulnerable people across Afghanistan.
