Rebuilding Afghanistan with hope and humanity.
From a war child to a voice for change
Afghanistan has endured decades of war, poverty, displacement and loss, leaving many children without schools or safety. Our Chairman, Jalal ibn Sa’eed, fled Afghanistan as a war child. He knows how childhood hardship shapes a child’s health, confidence and future, and the Watan Project exists to rebuild hope for the children and families who could not escape.
Every child deserves education, safety, love, and a chance to lead a normal life.
Jalal ibn Sa’eed
Our commitment
Our mission in Afghanistan is built on dignity, sustainability and compassion. We’re launching long-term projects with trusted partners on the ground to restore stability, education and hope.
Building hope: an orphanage & school
A new orphanage and school for boys and girls is under construction: a safe place to learn and heal, with purpose-built classrooms and living spaces, paid and trained Afghan teachers, books, uniforms and clothing, and transport for children in remote areas.
How your donation helps
- £30 a month sponsors an orphan (£360 for a year)
- £25 gives an orphan Eid gifts and clothes
- £100 is a Brick of Barakah towards the new orphanage
- £500 pays a teacher’s salary
- £1,000 goes towards a classroom (£5,000 in total), with separate facilities for boys and girls
Feeding families: Ramadan & Eid support for widows
During Ramadan, widows and fatherless families receive a month of food, cash and household essentials, plus Eid meals and gifts so the children can celebrate too. £150 provides a family’s Ramadan food pack.
Healing hearts: medical aid
War has left many families without a breadwinner, so basic healthcare is out of reach. We provide medical supplies, access to care and treatment, prioritising women and children. £50 pays for treatment and medication for a widow.
Health is not a privilege; it is a human right.
Together, we can rebuild Watan
Watan means homeland. This is partnership, not pity: every donation and act of kindness brings a child closer to safety, education and a hopeful future.
