Community-Based Health & Development in Afghanistan

Through large and small-scale agricultural demonstrations and interventions, skills training in a variety of areas, education on water, sanitations and hygiene (WASH), maternal health, financial literacy, peacebuilding and community leadership training, and help with infrastructure such as latrines and clean water solutions, our team works alongside villagers to find solutions that work for their community. Additionally, at present there are limited options for them to get out in the event of a medical emergency or a sudden drop in security. By helping to fund an airstrip, you can make our work in this region more secure and long-lasting, enabling our expat volunteer professionals to continue working alongside our Afghan staff to deliver high-quality development and health projects in these villages.

Our Community Development Project seeks to improve the quality of life for people in the Central Highlands. We empower communities to gain access to safe drinking water and clean latrines, to learn how to keep new mothers and babies healthy, to grow vegetables and improve nutrition, and to gain skills in literacy, business and finance. Through your support, the effects of poverty, conflict, and vulnerability can be reduced by building families’ and communities’ capacity to meet their basic needs, increase resilience and improve the quality of their lives.
