Digital Arts and Capacity Building |
After the regime change in August 2021, Afghan women have suffered tremendously due to joblessness and the education system being halted completely. We designed this short-term training for Afghan women to give them graphic design, digital marketing, and web design skills. Furthermore, we give them internships and link them to online companies for projects in web designing, graphics designing, and digital marketing. Our ultimate goal in this project is to empower and enable Afghan Women to earn a respectful income from home.
Each training program is for six months and consists of a three-month training and three-month internship session. After the training sessions, the qualified candidates will be hired immediately by ANAHO and other organizations in different fields. ANAHO has graduated more than 500 students in the past year. Currently, we have three on-campus classes admitting a total of 120 students who were selected from 500 applicants. Our plan is to increase this number and expand the program across Afghanistan. |

Bread Distribution for Vulnerable and Needy People in Kabul |
Distribution of 100,000 pieces of bread in different districts in Kabul Capital.
So far, we have distributed 70,000 pieces of bread and the project is in progress. We have distributed 30 cards to each family who can receive 5 pieces of bread daily per card. We want to expand this program to 34 provinces across Afghanistan.
These families are surveyed strictly by the ANAHO team and are considered to receive the pieces of bread. |

Rayan Orphanage |
ANAHO has initiated Rayan Orphanage, a long-term project to protect and empower orphans. Rayan was established to provide 24/7 orphan care and education to needy orphans from families below the poverty line, especially widowed mothers. Rayan provides a well-furnished hostel, education, nutrition, and medical checkup service, sports entertainment, and arts facilities. We plan to expand the Rayan chain of Orphan houses across Afghanistan. Currently, we have admitted 100 orphans to our main branch in Kabul.
One of the most pressing issues in Afghanistan is the children who need humanitarian assistance. As per UNICEF estimates in 2021, 12.9 Million Afghan children need humanitarian assistance specifically as per another UNICEF report in 2008, 1.6 million are orphans. This figure regarding orphans would surely have increased because of the recent unrest specifically from 2018 to 2022. As per a TRT WORLD report in November 2021, there are a total of 68 public and private orphanages that previously housed 9319 orphans. Currently, since the regime change and political unrest, the orphans are being returned to their relative’s families, and only 3566 orphans are left in the orphan houses. Orphans specifically from poor families are forced into labor, depriving them of education and other livelihood facilities. Rayan Orphan House has emerged in such a context to give the orphans the education and livelihood facilities they cannot receive in their families. Rayan was registered with the Ministry of Education as a School and with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs as an Orphan house in 2022. We aim to become a pioneer in orphan care and extend our network and coverage across Afghanistan. Our vision is that every orphan in Afghanistan especially from poor families should have equal life opportunities as enjoyed by other citizens. Our mission is to reach out to the neediest orphans and embark on a journey of normal life education and opportunities. We will ensure to have a country-wide network of Rayan’s volunteers who would help us find the orphans. We aim to help those families especially widowed mothers and their children comprehensively. We have programs for orphan children's mothers to get an education and vocational training and hence become normal breadwinners of their families. |
