Together, we can bring hope and relief to vulnerable families, protect the dignity of women and children, and help communities in Afghanistan rebuild their lives with strength and resilience
WHO WE ARE
Afghan Alfouz Innovational Welfare Organization (AAIWO) is a non-profit, non-governmental, and non-political organization established in 2018 and registered with the Ministry of Economy of Afghanistan (License #4465). Guided by the values of Hope – Relief – Help, we work to empower Afghan communities—especially women, children, and vulnerable groups—through health, education, social services, agriculture, and emergency response. Since our establishment, we have partnered with leading organizations such as the World Bank, UNICEF, WHO, and other UN agencies to implement large-scale projects that reach millions of people across Afghanistan. Our programs focus on improving access to healthcare, expanding educational opportunities, strengthening community resilience, and supporting sustainable livelihoods. At AAIWO, we believe in inclusivity, participation, and community-driven development—working hand in hand with people to build a brighter, self-reliant future.
OUR FOCUS AREA
At AAIWO, we focus on addressing the urgent needs of communities while promoting long-term development. Our key areas of work include:
Since its establishment in 2018, AAIWO has successfully implemented a wide range of humanitarian and development projects across Afghanistan. Some of these projects include:
In consortium with JACK, this World Bank (ARTF) and UNICEF-funded project delivers essential healthcare in Farah, Kandahar and Nangarhar, reaching over three million people under the Health Emergency Response (HER) initiative.
This World Bank-funded project (2018–2019) piloted business development concepts for nomadic communities (Koochies), aiming to create sustainable livelihoods and integrate them into local economies.
This Canada-funded project (completed 2021) supported vulnerable groups in Ghor—returnees, IDPs, and women—by providing means for economic and social reintegration.
Funded by the US Embassy and Lithuanian partners (2018–2020), this project empowered women in Ghor through agricultural training, creating home gardens and small poultry farms to boost nutrition and income.
This JICA-funded pilot (2019–2020) promoted family-based agriculture in 24 peri-urban villages through kitchen gardens, poultry, and tree planting to boost food security and sustainability.
To promote and protect equality, social justice, and human rights for all—particularly for women and children—so that every individual can live with dignity and opportunity.
To improve wellbeing, promote education, and reduce poverty through community mobilization, advocacy, capacity building, and strengthening of local institutions at the grassroots level.
