EVOLVING DEVELOPMENT
When Mahboba's Promise first started working in Afghanistan, the needs of the widows and orphans were so basic that our work was mainly welfare orientated. Offering food, clothing and shelter to keep people alive was our primary goal.
While there are many widows and orphans who are still destitute in Afghanistan, the focus of our work has changed to address development projects which will be of long term benefit. For example we now offer vocational training to widows to ensure their success in the workforce.
Our projects are geared toward sustainability and many that we instigated are now running independently or with the help of Govt. In this way we can keep starting more projects and helping more people!
FRESH IDEAS
We are currently working on a Leadership Training Project for children in Afghanistan, including classes in philosophy, politics, ethics and social studies. We are very excited to be creating the strong, intelligent and compassionate leaders of Afghanistan's future.
We have been working towards a collaboration with world renowned Permaculture expert Geoff Lawton to instigate a Permaculture Project in Afghanistan. The planning phase of this project is now complete and in partnership with Muslim Aid Australia, this Spring we are starting the Permaculture Initiative in Kabul.

Our projects are always designed in consultation with the beneficiaries in Afghanistan and it is very encouraging that many of the projects are now instigated from Afghanistan.
