Afghanistan Rehabilitation Program (ARP)
Afghanistan Rehabilitation Program (ARP) is a nonprofit organization registered in Kabul, Afghanistan, providing health, education, humanitarian, livelihood, agriculture, food security, research, climate change, community development and recreational programs to people in need.
ARP's work began in 1999. Following a government restructuring of NGO registration, ARP was re-registered in 2006 with the Ministry of Economy in Kabul (Reg. No. 401). Since then it has played a vital role in humanitarian and development settings, contributing towards peace-building in Afghanistan — a country where people can live in amity and harmony.
Through education, members of society become self-reliant. ARP delivers vocational training, home renovation, agriculture and recreational programs that enable people to apply skills in their personal lives and workplaces.
ARP delivers all services to people in need regardless of gender, race, color, religion or social status.
