ARDO is an independent, non-profit organization committed to serving underprivileged communities in rural areas. We work to ensure that every child, especially girls, has the opportunity to receive an education and build a better future. Alongside education, we support poor families through initiatives that improve their health, livelihoods, and overall well-being. Guided by compassion and dedication, ARDO strives to create lasting change and empower communities to break the cycle of poverty.
Our vision is to build a society where every child, especially girls in rural areas, has equal access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for a brighter future. We envision empowered communities free from poverty, where families can live with dignity, hope, and self-reliance.
ARDO’s work is driven by a committed team of professionals and volunteers dedicated to education, health, agriculture, and community development. With compassion and integrity, our staff works hand in hand with communities to create meaningful and lasting change.

Our Women’s Empowerment Program develops women’s leadership, strengthens communities, increases women’s rights and ensures their personal security, and creates new political and economic opportunities for women across Afghanistan.
Our programs transfer tools, strategies, and lessons learned, foster synergies, and promote cooperation across the
country. Mobilizing women has proved powerful in order to accelerate progress in each country, through
facilitating networking, coordination, and collaboration among women and women’s groups.
Programs involve women at all stages, thus ensuring that issues identified and strategies utilized are appropriate
to each country or region’s socio-cultural-political context.
Providing linkages with like-minded allies in government and civil society and with international networks and organizations creates greater support for their efforts so that reform is promoted from within and from without.
ARDO’s mission is to empower rural communities by providing quality education, especially for girls, improving access to healthcare, supporting poor families, and promoting sustainable livelihoods. We strive to break the cycle of poverty and help people build a brighter, self-reliant future.
