About Us

Afghanaid is a British humanitarian and development NGO founded in 1983, with its main office in Kabul. The organization operates directly in four provinces—Badakhshan, Samangan, Ghor, and Daykundi—and collaborates with partners in nine others, including Herat, Faryab, Jawzjan, Sar-i-Pul, Balkh, Bamyan, Takhar, Khost, and Paktia. Over the past 40 years, Afghanaid has adapted its focus areas and staff capabilities in response to the country’s changing needs, aligning with global best practices and embracing innovation. Their efforts focus on four pillars of sustainable development: delivering essential services, enhancing sustainable livelihoods and food security, addressing climate change and disaster risk reduction, and providing emergency humanitarian aid. Three key principles—gender and inclusion, good governance and community development, and conflict mitigation and peacebuilding—are integrated into all their work to support long-term development.
