Afghanistan Relief Organization (ARO), a U.S.-based non-profit organization, founded in 1998 and registered under 501(c)(3) and Afghanistan as well in the capacity of all humanitarian support for disadvantaged people of Afghanistan. ARO is managed and operated by volunteers, both Afghan Americans and Americans of all backgrounds and faiths. We bring people together in a common goal to aid our fellow man. Help Build Hope in Afghanistan!

Afghanistan Relief Organization’s sole purpose is to serve and help needy people (women,

children, the elderly and the disabled) throughout Afghanistan by providing basic relief needs

(e.g. clothing, medical supplies, food, hygiene supplies) and educational and professional

support. ARO established its own educational and training center in Kart -e- Char, Kabul Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban regime in early 2002. In 2006, ARO established its most important branch –the Vocational Training Center in a separate building in Kabul. Enrollment in all sections is free at ARO in order to enable low-income children to receive a quality education. ARO gives priority to schoolchildren, girls and youths of refugee returnees. Besides, ARO provides school supplies at no cost to all students.

In early February 2006, the Afghan government renewed the operating licenses of about 160 NGOs, out of approximately 1600 NGOs that arrived in country in early 2002. By the end of 2007, registered NGOs or PVOs operating in Afghanistan are numbered at approximately 1,000, with a requirement by the government of Afghanistan for formal reporting on project work.

The Afghanistan Relief Organization was the tenth NGO re-registered and remains in good standing. The programs and relief trips by American volunteers have been reported in Orange Coast Magazine, the Orange County Register, CNN, and The LA Weekly, among other publications.

According to a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Education Fact Sheet (plus Q and A) for Afghanistan, 2007:

Afghanistan has one the highest proportion of school-age, 7–12, children in the world: about 1 in 5 Afghans is a primary school-age child. Despite success in sending children to school, trends in gender disparity in education remains worrisome. For instance, the literary rate for young women (aged 15–24) is only 18 per cent, compared to 50 per cent for boys. The primary school completion rate for boys is 32 per cent versus 13 per cent for girls. In terms of cohort tracking, only 30 percent of girls (age 12 years) reach Grade 5, compared to 56 per cent for boys.
