Empowering communities for a resilient and inclusive Afghanistan.
An Afghan-led national NGO delivering principled humanitarian assistance and community-centred development across all 34 provinces in education, health, food security, WASH, and livelihoods.
Afghan-led. Locally rooted.
Nationally trusted.
Founded in 2013, ASLO has grown from a community initiative into one of Afghanistan’s most versatile national NGOs.
Formally registered with the Ministry of Economy (Reg. No. 2852), ASLO operates as a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit body maintaining neutrality and a community-centered approach that ensures equitable access regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, or political affiliation.
Since founding, ASLO has implemented 41+ projects and managed a verified grant portfolio of over USD 9.15 million (2022–2025) — with annual surpluses in 2024 and 2025, and consistently clean audit opinions from RSM International.
