OUR WORK

We have been working in Afghanistan since 1976 to deliver lasting change to the lives of children across the country. We work closely with children, parents, teachers, village councils, religious leaders, government ministries, non-governmental organisations, and other stakeholders. Our programmes focus on education, health and nutrition, child protection, food security and livelihood, and humanitarian response.  

We also help children learn by ensuring both girls and boys are in school. Our programmes provide the opportunity for children that have left school to access community-based education opportunities as well as return to the formal education system. 

We provide quality healthcare and nutrition services to help children survive, especially in humanitarian contexts. We help build the capacity of health workers and support static and mobile health teams.  

Together with our partners, we support and protect children that are especially vulnerable such as internally displaced children, returnees and children who are affected by climate change.
