Afghanaid is a British humanitarian and development organisation. For forty years, their dedicated personnel have worked with millions of families in some of the most marginalised and remote communities in Afghanistan. They build basic services, improve livelihoods, strengthen the rights of women and children, help communities protect against natural disasters and adapt to climate change, and respond to humanitarian emergencies.
Their community-led approach gives ordinary Afghans a voice in their own development, making them active participants in shaping the future of their country.
With their years of experience, their majority Afghan team, and their deep understanding of local, cultural and ethnic issues, they have earned great trust and respect among the communities they serve. This has allowed them to gain access to some of the most underserved areas of the country.
Vision: A peaceful, just and thriving Afghanistan.
Mission: To provide Afghans with the training and tools they need to help themselves, their families and their communities.
Focus: They particularly target marginalised households that are most at risk – including those headed by women, or with elderly, chronically ill or disabled family members. Find out more about what they do.
Strategy: In 2022, they introduced a new five year strategy. Despite numerous challenges, Afghanaid remains steadfastly committed to implementing life-saving and transformative programming guided by their vision, mission, and organisational values. With this strategy, Afghanaid set out their plans to amplify efforts to respond in a principled, effective manner to an evolving context and worsening humanitarian situation.
