Introduction
BAHAR HARIROD Organization is a non-governmental and not-for-profit organization founded in Kabul in 1993 with a mission to provide people affected by
human and natural crises in the Afghanistan with emergency relief, educational programs, clean water and food security, health care, protection
for children and orphans, sustainable socio-economic programs, and to promote peace-building and effective governance, while integrating
our values of respect, impartiality, quality, accountability, advocacy and innovation in all our work. We have since grown to become the largest
national humanitarian and development organization in Afghanistan with almost three decades of experience providing relief and socio-economic support services
to those most affected by the joint forces of conflict, war and recurrent climatic shocks. Our organization’s headquarters are in Kabul Province,
with field operation offices across the country and international offices in Dubai and Germany.
Even as Afghanistan is witnessing a rebirth in development, reconstruction and peace-building, recurrent climatic shocks (droughts and flooding) and protracted civil war have
left the Afghan people and society in critical need of assistance at all levels. Decades of political instability and erratic climate changes have left vast populations,
especially in rural areas, living in extreme poverty with high morbidity and mortality rates. The demand for basic necessities for survival are very high.
The need for emergency survival support and sustainable social and infrastructure development has never been greater and is crucial to ensure the survival of Afghanistan
and prevention of future conflict.Our programs are focused on serving the most vulnerable and marginalized people in the Afghanistan, namely children, adolescent boys
and girls, women, persons with disabilities and other marginalized groups and internally displaced persons (idps). The sectors we work in are humanitarian relief, health care,
education, orphan and childcare, economic development and sustainable livelihood, water and sanitation as well as peace-building and governance.
BAHAR HARIROD Organization is ISO-certified and has membership in various regional and international humanitarian consortiums and networks.
