ECCO Afghanistan
Our Principles:
Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, Unity, and Universality.
ECCO strives to provide immediate support in areas experiencing a disaster, war, and conflict.
We provide immediate humanitarian aid and help people get back on their feet. We work in developing countries, support child education, help the poorest and most vulnerable, and support human rights. We hold the values of mutual help, solidarity, and humanism in high esteem.
Education
Growing up in poverty, children face tough challenges: hunger and malnutrition, and limited access to education and medical services. ECCO helps children get the education, financial support, life skills, job-readiness training, and confidence they need to create lasting change in their lives and communities.
Free Online School and Education
Children in poverty are more likely to be exposed to violence, child labor, and drugs. This can negatively affect brain development and long-term well-being. ECCO helps children and youth set their own goals to build a life free from poverty by providing them with their basic academic needs and access to free education online and in person.
Academic Scholarships for University Students
Many young adults who get a chance to attend primary and secondary school, can not pursue higher education due to the vast majority of state-sponsored institutions’ incapacity and incompetence. On the other hand, privet universities are not affordable and feasible. Therefore, ECCO provides high school graduates with Academic scholarships to enroll in privet universities and pursue higher education.
School Supplies for Children
ECCO partners with corporations and organizations to provide tools necessary for learning such as computers, internet access, books, and stationery supplies.
