Afghanistan

Since 2001, HIA has been implementing humanitarian and development programmes in the country devastated by war for decades. In addition to humanitarian aid, our objective is to achieve, through our permanent local office, long-term sustainable results in the areas of education, rural development, public administration development, health and capacity building. In partnership with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), we deliver thousands of tons of food each year through “food for work” programmes to those in need. In the complex food programmes, we help the population to make a long-term sustainable living through income-generating training, agricultural, water management and infrastructural developments. In addition to implementing aid and development programmes, our office in Mazar-I-Sharif in the North of the country also performs intensive coordination throughout the year.

In 2019, we signed an agreement with the Kabul Office of the UN World Food Program (WFP) to implement 3 projects. In the framework of the programmes, 619 tons of food were distributed, financial support was provided to families in exchange for work, and support was provided, also, a training programme was launched for internally displaced women. The number of beneficiaries was more than 15,000 and they participated in silkworm breeding, construction of drainage walls, irrigation canals and a flood defence dam, in household irrigation and in a gardening programme.
