About us

Afghanaid has worked alongside Afghan communities for over two decades. We currently work directly with over 500,000 adults and children focusing on long term sustainable development in rural areas.

In a country where 1 in 5 children die before the age of 5, our work has an immediate effect helping build a future where people have healthier lives.

Our vision is of a peaceful and secure Afghanistan, where Afghans exercise their rights to political freedom and economic opportunity in a country where institutions are held accountable.

Afghanaid works alongside poor and marginalised Afghans to increase their chances and capabilities to enjoy sustainable and fair economic and social development.

Afghanaid’s Head Office is in Afghanistan with a UK office providing advocacy and fundraising support. The UK office has five staff. We have 300 staff in Afghanistan, 95 per cent of whom are Afghan.

Approximately 60 women work for Afghanaid. Afghanaid is governed by a board of trustees in London and managed by a team of four directors and one managing director.

Afghanaid‘s origins are in the Afghanistan Support Committee which was founded in London in 1981. Two years later, Afghanaid was set up as an independent charity and has worked in Afghanistan continuously and independently ever since.In the 1980s, we helped Afghans who had fled their homes either to other parts of the country or to neighbouring Pakistan.

From the 1990s, we’ve concentrated on community development in some of the poorest and most remote parts of Afghanistan, rebuilding their lives and working to secure their future.

Afghanaid believes that our work must reflect the wishes and needs of the Afghan people.
