For nearly half a century, the resilient nation of Afghanistan has confronted the profound challenges of conflict, natural disasters, and economic hardships. Amidst this enduring struggle, hundreds of thousands of vulnerable individuals, including poor orphans, widows, the homeless, the disabled, and the needy, reside in the country, relying solely on the benevolence of the Almighty.

In response to this humanitarian crisis, a group comprising religious scholars, university professors, and compassionate individuals established Ehsas Welfare and Social Services Organization (EWSSO). Motivated by a sense of duty both as human beings and adherents to religious principles, these founders pledged to address the pressing needs within Afghan society.

Since its inception, the Ehsas Welfare and Social Services Organization has steadfastly dedicated itself to alleviating the burdens faced by the less fortunate. The organization has committed to bridging the gap between the affluent and the needy by conscientiously channeling donations and funds to those deserving, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to honesty and fidelity in its philanthropic endeavors.
