Objectives and activities

To relieve financial hardship, distress and suffering among orphans, widows, the poor, victims of natural disasters and other people in need by means of, but not exclusively, offering grants or loans for the provision of essential items along with services and facilities including food, clean water, clothing, and accommodation for the benefit of those in need.

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To relieve sickness and to preserve good health among those in need, by means of, but not exclusively, the provision or assistance in the provision of equipment, medicines, and facilities, such as treatment centres and clinics for the benefit of those in need. Under this program health care will improve especially in rural areas where access to standard health care remains challenging.
We help the rural Afghans to access clean drinking water because the greatest cause of widespread diseases are related to unhealthy water that people use. Lack of clean drinking water in Afghanistan forced more than a million Afghans to displace to access the water. They left their properties and agriculture. To decrease the number of displacement we need to provide the water resources in their original villages and in the second phase, we need to make it possible for the displaced villagers to return safely.
To advance education for the benefit of the poor, the illiterate, and the public by means of, but not exclusively, the provision or assistance in the provision of educational resources, activities and facilities, such as schools, libraries and training centres, and the provision of scholarships. Small number of schools have access to standard facilities. We believe to build the future invest on today's kids and invest on education and development. This will change the situation very easily

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This project contributed to the development of village- based poultry production and improved the livelihoods, incomes, food security and nutritional status of poor and vulnerable rural women. This Small-scale poultry production has several comparative advantages, namely:
It needed less capital investment compared to other species and land ownership is not a requirement.
Short reproductive cycles ensure quick financial returns.
Village women could manage and benefit directly from household poultry.
Besides income generation, provided nutrition supplementation in the form of valuable animal protein and empowers women. It has also been noticed that the demand for rural backyard poultry is quite high in tribal areas.
It may also worth mentioning that groups of small rural producers cater to the needs of consumers who have a specific preference for colour birds and brown-shelled eggs, both of which are mostly produced in the rural sector/ backyard poultry.
Small scale poultry farming units (15-20 birds) required very little hand feeding and can give a fairly handsome return with bare inexpensive night shelter.
Crossbred pullets, the Golden Breed, which are well adapted to the rural environment in Afghanistan, are locally available and popular.
These offer an alternative to pure exotic breeds and indigenous poultry with low productivity.
Several women headed families wanted to displace internally, some of them either wanted to sell their body organs or sell their children to feed others. As a result of our emergency response aid, we saved them from displacement and selling body organs or selling their children and provide them with sustainable development. Helping Orphans aims to respond to the current crisis by proving emergency support to those effected by the recent adverse weather conditions and natural disasters. Overall, our support had a impacts on beneficiaries:
Prevent or decrease in mass displacement
Prevent or decrease in overseas migration
Prevent or decrease in hunger and famine
Prevent or decrease in joblessness and child labour
Prevent or decrease in environmental and climate challenges
Prevent or decrease in inaccessibility to health care
Prevent or decrease of psychological impacts of poverty on local persons
