Afghanaid Information

Afghanaid is a British humanitarian and development organisation. For 40 years, our dedicated staff have worked with millions of vulnerable families in some of the underserved and most remote communities in Afghanistan. We build basic services, improve livelihoods, strengthen the rights of women and children, help communities protect against natural disasters, and respond to humanitarian emergencies. Our community-led approach gives ordinary Afghans a voice in their own development, making them active participants in shaping the future of their country. With our years of experience, our majority Afghan team, and our deep understanding of local, cultural and ethnic issues, we have earned great trust and respect among the communities we serve. This has allowed us to gain access to some of the most hard to reach areas of the country. Our Vision: A peaceful and thriving Afghanistan. Our Mission: To provide Afghans with the training and tools they need to help themselves, their families and their communities. Our Focus: We particularly target vulnerable households – including those headed by women, or with elderly, chronically ill or disabled family members. Afghanaid employs around 700 staff, over 95% of whom are Afghan and more than a third of whom are women. We are headquartered in Kabul with provincial offices in our programme areas. We also have a small fundraising and donor liaison office in London.
