In response to growing humanitarian needs across the Afghanistan, ISAR’s ambitious contrary strategy aligns life-saving and life-changing programming with the push for systemic change.
Since ISAR was established in 2015, our goal has been to alleviate poverty and suffering for the most disadvantaged families and communities and we have worked shoulder to shoulder with others also striving for a fairer, safer world for everyone
ISAR is proud to have contributed to some extraordinary human development successes:
- More than thousands of people have been lifted out of poverty.
- Life expectancy has risen across the planet.
- Diseases that used to kill thousands of people are now treatable.
- Access to education has been greatly expanded, particularly for women and girls.
- Yet in recent years, humanitarian need has grown, rather than declined.
- “The ultimate aim of every good charity is to help create a world in which it is no longer needed.”
- “The impacts of the climate crisis have become more severe;
- Inequality is rising due to the abuse and monopolization of resources and the exploitation of the many by the few.”
- These interconnected challenges further marginalize the poorest and most vulnerable and entrench the structural inequalities that exacerbate poverty and injustice.
- Our strategy is our response to these challenges.
- It sets out a path as to how ISAR can fulfil our mission and deliver the most significant impact for those that we serve.
Following a year of consultation with the ISAR, local partners, staff in our programme offices and supporters, we designed the strategy with a single goal: - To serve the most disadvantaged families and communities
- regardless of their faith, race, class, disability or gender.
An integrated programme approach “We will do this through an integrated programme approach.
We will combine our humanitarian assistance, sponsorship of orphaned children, long-term social development programming and advocacy work to comprehensively address the needs of those we are supporting and help build their capacity and resilience to overcome poverty and vulnerability.”
- we aim to achieve following outcomes
- We will save lives and reduce vulnerability to humanitarian crises
- We will empower communities to tackle poverty and vulnerability
- We will advocate for change to the system to eliminate the global and local root causes of inequality.
