A Step for Humanity Afghanistan Organization

A Step for Humanity Afghanistan Organization (ASHAO), was established in 2020 as a non-profit, non-political, and independent organization, licensed under number 5083 with the Ministry of Economy.

ASHAO strongly believes in the transformative power of education and capacity building, investing in skill-building programs and initiatives that empower individuals, especially youth and women, to actively participate in their community’s development. These programs are tailored to provide the tools, knowledge, and opportunities for learning and personal growth that can break cycles of poverty and dependency, fostering self-sufficiency. ASHAO’s commitment to women’s empowerment is reflected in initiatives that create pathways for Afghan women to engage in economic and social progress, equipping them to lead independent, prosperous lives and contribute meaningfully to society.

Consequently, ASHAO (A Step for Humanity Afghanistan Organization) has been operating in Afghanistan for the past 4 years, with its focus extending beyond geographical boundaries and across multiple sectors. Throughout its operations in various provinces of Afghanistan, ASHAO has successfully implemented a broad range of interventions in the following thematic areas: WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), Education, Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection, Health and Nutrition, Hygiene Promotion, Emergency Response, Food Security, Livelihood, Disaster Risk Management, Resilience Building, Infrastructure Development, and Community Micro-Economic Development through initiatives like craftsmanship and poultry production. ASHAO is committed to providing humanitarian aid and welfare services, working towards the achievement of sustainable development goals. The organization prioritizes the most deprived and marginalized segments of society, aiming to enhance their resilience, empower communities, and foster long-term growth.
