Vision:
To help Afghanistan evolve into a peaceful and developed country where people’s basic needs are met, poverty is eradicated and social justice is promoted.
The organization was created in 1987 by a team of educated and experienced Afghan volunteers. The initial aims were to provide emergency aid for war victims in the field, to assist with the rehabilitation of rural and urban life, and to work with communities for sustainable development in Afghanistan.
In the course of its existence, CHA evolved from an organization that mainly took care of emergency relief, towards a fully-fledged institution that is active in most of the sectors related to humanitarian, development, and peace.
Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (CHA) is a non-profit, non-sectarian and non-political humanitarian organization. CHA is registered with Ministry of Economy in Afghanistan. CHA has functional offices in 8 provinces namely Kabul, Herat, Ghor, Farah, Balkh, Kandahar, Parwan, and Faryab provinces around the country. In addition, for the purpose of better implementation of the projects 55 districts are covered by CHA through implementation of various programs and projects. Currently around 1,600 Afghan technical and support staff are employed by the organization and are working in various projects focused mainly in rural areas.
CHA works through the main thematic areas of Education, Community Development, Health & Nutrition, Agriculture & Livestock and Disaster Management and Repatriation Affairs. The organization’s approach is to focus at the district/marginalized community levels and provide integrated packages of assistance.
CHA has always been a step ahead in promoting innovative ideas among NGO communities in the country throughout its initiative attempts over the past three decades. Great Idea and digital education, and Saffron cultivation in agriculture themes are just a few of the pioneer innovations within the country that the organization had a hand in their first initiation and promotion.
