HIRA Afghanistan

Community-Centered Healthcare Initiative

Empowering vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.

Decades of conflict and instability have left thousands in Afghanistan struggling to meet their basic needs. This includes adequate medical care, as the nation’s healthcare sector strains to meet the growing demand.

 

Islamic Relief is providing community-based healthcare through the HIRA project. It focuses on assisting the most vulnerable community members – mothers, children and the youth. In total, the project aims to assist over 4,020 community members.  

Our Work in Afghanistan

To relieve the strain on Afghanistan’s overwhelmed health sector, Islamic Relief continues to deliver assistance through our community-based healthcare project, known as HIRA, which focuses on assisting the most vulnerable community members – mothers, children and the youth.

 

Islamic Relief Australia is a long-term supporter of the project. We commit to providing long-term solutions to long-term challenges. The benefits of providing appropriate and sustained healthcare will continue for generations to come.

This primary health care project delivers:

  • Antenatal and postnatal for mothers;
  • Nutrition support and psycho-social counselling for pregnant women;
  • Improved nutritional levels for children under five;
  • Intensive health support for severely and acutely malnourished children; and,
  • Learning and self-development opportunities for young people
