Rehabilitation in Afghanistan

Dear all,

Hope you are all fine,

Let me introduce one of the successful Afghan local organization called:
Kabul Orthopedic Organization (KOO) working in the field rehabilitation and
disability in Afghanistan based in Kabul and doing some outreach and
community activities for the reintegration and inclusion of persons with
disabilities,

For more information regarding KOO, you can look to its website (
www.koo.org.af)

There are so many challenges for persons with disabilities in the country
and so far there is not any remarkable legal support for persons with
disabilities,

Afghanistan still didn't join to the first human rights treaty of the United
Nations, the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities,

KOO is looking for any types of support you can offer to make it sustainable
for its mission to be achieved and including the persons with disabilities
into Afghan society by its rehabilitation activities throughout the country,
where rehabilitation activities is the first step of mobility for persons
with disabilities,

Please don't hesitate to ask for any further information if needed

Best Regards

Sadiq Mohibi
