Child protection is a critical issue in Afghanistan given the country’s complex socio-political landscape. Here are some key aspects which CTCO is focused on:
“CTCO is dedicated to transforming the lives of Afghan children by providing education, healthcare, and protection from violence, ensuring every child can thrive in a safe and supportive environment.”
