Our Programs

What is Afghan Humanitarian Aid?


Afghan Humanitarian Aid (AHA) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to restoring hope and dignity across Afghanistan. For the past four decades of conflict and war, countless families have been torn apart—leaving many children orphaned, widows without support, and whole communities plunged into poverty. Driven entirely by a team of on‑the‑ground volunteers, AHA delivers life‑saving services—feeding the hungry, sponsoring orphans and widows, drilling clean water wells in remote villages, and supporting Afghan returnees with emergency relief. Through our Economic Empowerment Program, we equip vulnerable families with tools, training, and small grants so they can build sustainable livelihoods. We accept donations from around the globe to power every project and ensure that 100% of your gift reaches those most in need.
