ADVTP NGO delivers professional child protection services in Afghanistan, working to protect vulnerable children from violence, exploitation, and abuse. Our programs focus on prevention, response, and strengthening community-based protection systems across Kabul and all provinces.

We support NGOs, donors, and communities with evidence-based child protection interventions aligned with international standards.


Why Child Protection is Important in Afghanistan

Key risks include:

  • Violence and exploitation
  • Child labor
  • Early and forced marriage
