His vision for AHA is to eradicate multidimensional poverty in Afghanistan and beyond.
“Afghanistan ranks as one of the most vulnerable countries in the world. According to the Multi-dimensional Poverty Index (MPI), nearly 60% of children in Afghanistan live in poverty. My aim is to significantly reduce this number in the coming years through Social Protection Programs, and Community-Based & Participatory Approaches.” He firmly believes in a “world free of poverty, where every person has access to sustainable well-being, free education and opportunities.” And wants to make it happen with AHA.
