Meanwhile, due to underdevelopment, geographical vulnerability, and the collapse of the republican system, Afghanistan is facing the worst food security conditions. Currently, more than half of Afghanistan’s population is experiencing acute food insecurity. In such circumstances, addressing food security is considered a fundamental priority. Emergency interventions are part of the mission of this organization to achieve sustainable livelihoods and development in poor communities in this country. The majority of people in these areas do not understand the concept of food security and lack the purchasing power to provide adequate nutrition for pregnant women, healthy growth for children, energy production in men, and mental peace in the family environment. The consequences of this situation include family tensions, children joining armed forces, and dropping out of school in society.
CTCO essentially collaborates with the World Food Program in this sector and covers three border districts (Wakhan, Shughnan, and Zebak), bringing some semblance of peace to families and allowing breastfeeding mothers and children to live their normal lives with peace of mind. By implementing this project, it covers 7,000 families, with an average of 3 children attending school from each household. This has led to the rescue of 21,000 children from forced labor and their enrollment in schools.
The FSAC also has a presence in the northeastern zone of Afghanistan, contributing to registering good experiences and concepts of food security in its profile.
CTCO and the World Food Program support 7,000 families in three Afghan districts, providing nutrition and reducing family tensions, enabling 21,000 children to attend school and fostering peace.
