Established in August 2002, WADAN is an indigenous, government registered NGO. We undertake community and institutional development, civic education, education, drug control, human rights, anti-corruption and child protection initiatives. WADAN is headquartered in the capital, Kabul, has offices in the provinces that provide national coverage. We have worked in all 34 provinces.

WADAN builds people; while we understand that progress will be incremental due to universal lack of good educational opportunities, geographical isolation, the long-term effects of war and continuing warfare, we are consistent in our efforts.
