Our Vision

HTCO envisions a resilient and inclusive Afghanistan where every individual—regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background—has the opportunity to thrive in safe, healthy, and empowered communities. We aspire to a nation where women, men, and youth actively participate in building a society rooted in dignity, equity, and opportunity. In this future, access to protection, quality healthcare and nutrition, clean water and sanitation, food security, safe shelter, and education—even in emergencies—is a guaranteed right for all, laying the foundation for long-term peace and sustainable development.

Our Mission

 (HTCO) is committed to improving the lives of Afghanistan’s most vulnerable and underserved populations by delivering comprehensive, community-based support across multiple sectors. We work to ensure access to protection services that uphold human dignity; health and nutrition programs that reduce preventable illness; clean water and sanitation systems that support public health; food security initiatives that combat hunger and strengthen livelihoods; shelter and settlement solutions for those displaced or affected by crises; and emergency education opportunities that keep children, especially girls, learning in times of conflict and displacement. Through a localized and participatory approach, HTCO empowers Afghan communities to become resilient, self-reliant, and agents of their own development.
