Project Overview

Registration of refugees, camp management, provision of food and non-food items and WATSAN facilities at camps.

Project Background

The events of September 11, 2001 added a new and urgent dimension to Afghanistan’s protracted political and humanitarian problems. The evacuation of aid agencies from the country compounded the already severe difficulties of responding adequately to the large scale internal displacement and food emergency affecting over five million Afghans. The additional conflict, civil disorder and food shortage triggered large scale population migration from Afghanistan to Pakistan.

Project Objectives:

To improve the living conditions of IDPs

Project Activities:

  • Distributing food.

    • How Islamic Relief Helps

    Islamic Relief is an international aid agency that works in over 25 countries worldwide.

    Our work covers emergency preparedness, full-scale disaster response, rehabilitation and long-term development projects.

    Over the years IR has provided communities with public services, such as water and education. We have now moved towards a ‘rights-based approach’, helping communities to become self-sufficient and encouraging them to expect their governments to provide adequate public services.

    IR works in partnership with communities, aid agencies, local organisations and governments.
