Livelihoods & Economic Empowerment
We empower communities, including women, returnees, IDPs, and other vulnerable groups, by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities and promoting entrepreneurship. Through vocational training, support of SMEs, access to markets, financial literacy, and income-generating initiatives, we help individuals build financial independence, recover from crises, and achieve long-term economic resilience. By strengthening local economies, we aim to reduce poverty, create employment, and enhance community self-reliance.
How we work
DHDO works with vulnerable and crisis-affected communities across Afghanistan to improve livelihoods, strengthen climate resilience, empower women, expand access to education and skills, improve water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), enhance food security and agriculture, and support civil society development. Through integrated humanitarian and development programs, DHDO promotes sustainable solutions that reduce vulnerability, build community resilience, and support inclusive and long-term development.
