Our Story

Afghan Health and Development Services (AHDS) is a non-for-profit, non-governmental and non-political organization founded by Afghans on April 7th, 1990. AHDS is registered in Afghanistan as a national NGO and in the USA as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. AHDS is also an active member of Afghan NGOs Coordination Bureau (ANCB), Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR) and Alliance of Health Organizations (AHO). AHDS is one of the first signatories of the Codes of Conduct for NGOs engaged in humanitarian action, reconstruction and development in Afghanistan.

AHDS’ goal is saving lives and improving living quality by provision of humanitarian assistance and development programs.

AHDS has been enabled to serve millions of people, by tireless efforts of the staff and vigorous help of the supporters. Through continuous support from our international donors and technical support of partners; Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Ministry of Economic, Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD), UN agencies, local authorities, and the community leaders, AHDS has been able to take firm strides in the areas of social development and services in Afghanistan. AHDS understands that Afghanistan has unique challenges and difficulties that require innovation and out of the box thinking.

AHDS is dedicated towards and has supported organizational development, capacity building and system promotion at the national level. Activities of AHDS are well coordinated with national and local government authorities, community elders, and other stakeholders. Throughout the years, AHDS has had continuous presence and active participation in the task forces and workshops lead by the local and international agencies related to capacity building, social services and improving quality and accessibility. The secret of our success is related to our ability to reach peoples, gain their support and corporations and involve them in our efforts. Without critical support and collaboration from these communities, AHDS’ success would not be possible. Our experiences are indicative that by directly engaging and involving communities in our efforts and making them aware of their rights and responsibilities, we can ensure sustainable development.

AHDS had humanitarian and development projects; including healthcare, immunization, nutrition, community development, education, emergency relief, water and sanitation, agriculture and livestock. AHDS has worked in Daykundi, Helmand, Kabul, Kandahar, Kapisa, Kunar, Logar, Nangarhar, Uruzgan, Wardak and Zabul provinces.

We feel that sustainable development is possible only through persistence and continued perseverance in the face of difficulties. The national NGOs, more importantly the communities, have to take personal ownership and responsibility to see our country through this difficult yet promising time.
