In 2003, a group of thoughtful and committed citizens came together to help and provide support to hundreds of men, women and children who had been effected by war in Eastern Afghanistan. The result was the establishment of Afghanistan Rehabilitation and Women Education (ARWEO). From day one, bound by integrity, perseverance, diversity and inclusion, ARWEO’s mission was to rebuild Afghanistan and heal the wounds of people, provide shelter to and help men, women and persons with disabilities affected by war to get them back on their feet to support themselves, their families and the reconstruction process. 

Today, after 20 years we still stand firm to the core values practiced on day one by the founders of ARWEO to ensure that Afghanistan achieves peace and prosperity and that every Afghan man, woman and child have access to basic needs in life. Since 2003, ARWEO has grown-up both in size and expertise. During the years 2005 to 2014, we significantly expanded our coverage and services to cover all 34 provinces of Afghanistan to offer services in even remote areas of Afghanistan which are deprived and left isolated. Majority of our work is done through the assistance received from national and international donor organizations and over the last 20 years, ARWEO takes pride in working with most major national and international organizations, including, NSDP/MOLSA/MD, GAGP Embassy of Japan, ADT/PRT Kunar, CCI, CA-Kunar, RELIEF International, ZOA Refugee Care Afghanistan, HI, Canadian Embassy, UNICEF, DAI/SIKA North, Clear Path International (CPI), UNOPS, UN-Woman, UNAMA, AHF/UNOCHA, UNICEF to name a few.
