Afghanistan has a population crisis in which 40% of the population is aged between 0 and
14 years
Due to cultural beliefs, there is a tendency to have a very large family so that the children can grow up to support
their parents as well as the entire family unit.
Our solution is aimed at giving the younger population the power to secure their own
futures.
We will provide them with the resources and skills to develop a trade that will allow them to care for their family.
We want to empower them by giving them the ability to become self sufficient…
AFGHANS FOR TOMORROW

By building a good relationship with the communities, we can provide an avenue for other organizations to supply

….so that they can provide food and clean water to their family which will have an indirect
but positive effect on child mortality.
Better nutrition will allow mothers to develop breast milk essential for the first few days of a
new born baby
Their lives could easily be saved by just one vaccine.
We hope to build a good relationship with the people we are trying to impart an education system which will provide advice about family planning, the importance of nutrition and clean water which the families can pass on to
others.
