About Afghan Development Foundation:

The Afghan Development Foundation (ADF) is a non-governmental, non-political organization founded in 1996 and run entirely by Afghans. The organization is registered with the Ministry of Economy of Afghanistan. ADF is run by a group of considerate people who intend to rebuild, bring livelihood resilience, facilitate education for children, and ensure food security for the communities and the population greatly affected by conflicts. Due to war damages and the high number of domestic destructions, which have had close and direct effects on the livelihoods of people, children's education, and the development gap, ADF has concentrated its activities in various vital sectors for human welfare and is taking an active part in the developmental sector of Afghanistan.

The Afghan Development Foundation (ADF) boasts a rich history of project implementation across all regions of Afghanistan, both on-site and off-site. ADF has successfully navigated numerous projects in rural and remote areas in various sectors, for instance, women empowerment, livelihood interventions, essential humanitarian services, construction and reconstruction, social cohesions, climate change, and national disaster management and educational activities, demonstrating its ability to manage challenging local and national situations. With over two decades of experience in Afghanistan, ADF's personnel have honed their skills in overcoming local and national barriers, ensuring the best possible outcomes. The organization's commitment to integrity and transparency is unwavering, tying its activities directly to its mission and maintaining and reporting its records and deliveries with utmost transparency.
