Most Afghans are dependent on agriculture, a livelihood now regularly threatened by severe drought and other climate change-related phenomena. Through our programming, we aim to empower men and women to break the cycle of poverty and build resilience against future crises.
In 2023, we delivered direct assistance by distributing agricultural inputs, such as seeds, tools, livestock, and fertiliser, that allowed farming households to rebuild and strengthen their livelihoods.
Women using equipment provided by Afghanaid
Through our self-help groups (SHGs), over 3,500 women entrepreneurs have the chance to gather and learn about potential income-earning opportunities, access essential materials and start-up financing, and establish micro-enterprises.
SHGs allow women to establish increased autonomy, receive support from other women in their communities, and build their families' resilience to poverty.
helpING afghans build enterprises and enhance incomeS
In 2023, we helped participants build their enterprises and enhance their incomes.
Once households’ income sources were stabilised, Afghanaid helped participants build their enterprises and enhance their incomes, for instance by supplying them with more advanced equipment and creating strong linkages between small-scale producers and traders at central markets.
