We support programmes ranging from children’s life-changing surgery to mobile libraries, from school and university scholarships to maternal health services, from a children’s circus to clean water and sanitation. We put emphasis on providing education and incomes for women because we believe that these are most likely to create a lasting change for the country.
We aim to fund projects that demonstrate cultural sensitivity and provide employment for Afghan people wherever possible.
We spotlight some of the programmes, below.
