These initiatives span sectors such as construction management, education, livelihoods, agriculture, child protection, health, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), emergency shelter, and non-food item distribution, impacting 24 provinces nationwide.

Our work is funded and supported by prestigious partners like USAID, UNICEF, UNDP, UN Women, UNOPS, UNFPA, IOM, Good Weave USA, and AWRC. This strong track record highlights our dedication to rebuilding Afghanistan and meeting urgent humanitarian needs with professionalism and accountability.
