Guiding Principles
Compassion
At the Health and Social Development Organization for Afghanistan (HSDOA), we believe that educating girls and protecting women’s rights is the key to building stronger, healthier communities. In Afghanistan, countless girls are denied the basic right to education due to cultural, economic, and social barriers. Without access to schools, literacy programs, and learning opportunities, many young girls are unable to reach their full potential — and generations of families are affected.
Our programs aim to break these barriers by providing scholarships, school supplies, uniforms, and tutoring so that every girl can attend school safely and confidently. We also run literacy and life skills programs to empower girls with the knowledge and tools they need to shape their own futures. Education is not just a right; it is a lifeline to opportunity, independence, and hope.
