Since 1991, the Afghanistan Development and Vocational Training Program (ADVTP) has worked hard to bring better health and hope to people who need it most. We’re a registered non-profit (License No. 301), and our focus is simple: help women, children, and families—especially those who’ve been displaced—get the healthcare they deserve in Kabul and all over Afghanistan.
Everything we do is humanitarian. Donors make our work possible, and we’re not in this for profit. Instead, we aim to build long-term health and resilience—something everyone deserves.
Here’s how we help:
1. Primary Healthcare for Remote Areas
We back local clinics and send out mobile health teams to places most people can’t reach. Our teams bring essential medical supplies and improve referral systems for anyone who needs specialized care beyond our services.
2. Maternal and Child Health (MCH)
Afghanistan’s maternal and child mortality rates are heartbreaking, and we’re determined to change that. We raise awareness around safe motherhood, support prenatal and postnatal care, and help communities with immunization and tracking children’s growth.
3. Nutrition & Food Security
Looking ahead to our 2025 Food Security goals, we screen children for malnutrition, connect them to needed treatment, and support breastfeeding and supplemental feeding. Hunger is a crisis in the rural provinces, and we’re addressing it head-on.
4. Preventive Education & Hygiene
We give communities the tools and training they need to protect their own health—think hygiene campaigns, clean water (WASH) education, plus teaching people how to prevent disease outbreaks.
5. Mental Health & Psychosocial Support
Years of conflict leave scars you can’t always see, so we offer counseling that’s trauma-informed and youth mental health programs to help people heal and rebuild their lives.
6. Emergency Health Response
When disaster strikes, our mobile medical teams get on the ground fast to deliver emergency care, assess risks, and make a difference right away.
A Gender-Inclusive Mission
Every step of the way, we make sure our healthcare respects local culture and is fully open to women, girls, and people with disabilities. No one gets left out.
