Islamic Support Aid and Relief Organization (ISARO) was established in 2015 by a group of experienced and professional individuals to come together for the purpose of humanity.
In 2018, ISAR began its first project – sponsoring an orphanage in Kabul and Jalalabad where shelter, quality food, education and health care provided to 140 (55 boys in Kabul and 85 girls in Jalalabad) orphan children.
ISAR main office is located in House # 186 Street 13th, Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul-AFG.
- ISAR grew at a rapid rate, and over the next five years, and extended its projects to 7 provinces of Afghanistan, among others, responding to emergencies and distributing clothes, food, offering health support and beginning the long-term project that is now our Orphans Sponsorship programme.
- Today, by the grace of Allah the Almighty and by the support of its funders, ISAR is a truly national organization, active in all regions of the country providing emergency aid, carrying out long-term development.
- Our headquarter is based in Kabul, but we have offices in other provinces including Nangarhar, Paktia, and semi-permanent offices in all regions of the country, depending on current projects.
- Currently ISAR’s staff totals approximately 30 people of nationwide.
- These staff members are experienced teachers, researchers and trainers, programme and provincial managers, and support staff including research assistants, drivers, guards, cooks and local facilitators.
- At ISAR we pride ourselves in our ability to access difficult-to-reach locations and marginalized communities for both research and capacity building purposes.
- ISAR staff have a long history of successful engagement with communities on a variety of issues in more than three-quarters of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces. Much of this engagement has focused on facilitation, training and capacity-building within and between communities.
