ARWEO is a nonprofit organization with a visionary focus on the rehabilitation and protection of vulnerable communities in Afghanistan. ARWEO has a strategic goal of assisting the lifesaving and immediate needs of the marginalized population, including IDPs, refugees, and host communities in eastern, central, northern, and central highlands regions. ARWEO has a history of 20 years implementing 86 projects with 65% of projects in Shelter, education, protection, food security, nutrition, and livelihoods. ARWEO is dedicated to transforming the lives of marginalized children, including boys and girls, particularly those with immediate education, protection, and humanitarian needs, and those belonging to IDP, refugee, and host communities in the affected provinces of Afghanistan.

Project Background:

ARWEO is executing a Shelter Support for Resilience project to protect the well-being of households affected by natural disasters, prolonged conflict, and forced displacement, with particular attention to families returning from Pakistan. These populations, often among the most vulnerable, face severe shelter insecurity and limited access to safe and dignified housing. The project targets marginalized and crisis-affected households across the eastern, central, northern, and northeastern regions of Afghanistan. Shelter assistance is provided through minor and major repairs, rehabilitation of damaged homes, and the construction of both permanent and transitional shelters, depending on each household’s condition, location, and needs. Beyond addressing the immediate need for shelter, the project also aims to enhance resilience by promoting disaster risk reduction measures and integrating locally accepted, cost-effective building practices. It contributes to the protection and stabilization of vulnerable communities, especially women-headed households, persons with disabilities, and the elderly. Local labor and skilled workers are engaged wherever possible, and technical training is incorporated to strengthen community-based construction capacity and ownership. ARWEO envisions not only rebuilding homes but also restoring dignity, safety, and a sense of permanence for families striving to recover and rebuild their lives.
