HRF is a humanitarian organization that recognizes the need to preserve and protect a child's right to an education and promotes their development... HRF is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established in 2009 to help the orphans of Afghanistan. We believe that an orphan's struggles reflect those of Afghan society. Four decades of bloody conflict and instability virtually destroyed the country's education system. This void left many of Afghanistan's children particularly vulnerable and stunted their social and cognitive development. It also kept them trapped in a cycle of poverty with no hope of escape.
