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 families so that the children can

grow up to support their parents and siblings.

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.

Better nutrition will allow mothers to develop breast milk essential for the first few days of a

new born baby

Fostering good relationship with the communities secures the trust needed to…

Educate nutrition, maternal care and hygiene to combat disease and infections

We can also gather support from developed nations to provide

medical supplies and immunizations

Their lives could easily be saved by just one vaccine.

We want to empower them by giving them the ability to become self sufficient…

AFGHANS FOR TOMORROW

….so that they can provide food and clean water to their family which will have a positive effect

on child mortality.

The past cannot be changed

But we can build up the future
