SUPPORT AFGHANISTAN

Life in Afghanistan is tough. The country is facing many problems that will only get worse in the near future. Many Afghan refugees are infected with the coronavirus, which is spreading rapidly in Iran. We now want to provide care where it is most needed. Our teams in Afghanistan are ready to get started. Only the financial resources are missing. Will you help?

VISION

We want to break the negative spiral of poverty, violence and injustice in Afghanistan by investing in Afghan people in the field of work, education and care.

About us

APPROACH

We expressly do not busy ourselves with short-term aid, but rather invest in social entrepreneurship. Therefore we train and coach Afghans, so they become the motor of sustainable change in the long run.

Projects

TARGET GROUP

We are there for all Afghans, but our hearts go out to widows, orphans and war victims. With education, medical care and work opportunities they will be able to create a better future.

WIDOWS AND ORPHANS

Plans for a new social enterprise

Plans for a new social enterprise

March 2021 - In Kabul we want to set up a woodworking company where unemployed young men have the opportunity to learn the work of a woodworker / carpenter. The woodworking company in Kabul makes furniture and custom interiors. Because of the specialist machines the company also can fullfill woodworking orders from third parties who do not have access to specialist machines.

SELF-DESIGNED DRESSES FROM KABUL

October 4, 2019 – In our sewing workshop, which is located in Kabul, approximately eight women make and design dresses. They are doing a great job, with the dresses for the current season having proven to be popular and having sold well. Last week, our manager loaded his car full of homemade dresses, which he took with him on a road trip through the different Afghan provinces. In just nine days, he was able to sell over 250 dresses! We all are very proud of him and his team. Are you interested in buying a homemade dress of Afghan design? Let us know, and we will place an order for you.
