About Atta Welfare Foundation

About Atta Welfare Foundation

Atta Welfare Foundation is a nonprofit, non-political organization that was launched in 2015 by Mr. Attauallah "Shegiwol". Initially, the foundation focused on providing relief to poor communities affected by disasters. Over time, the number of dedicated individuals involved in the foundation increased. Atta Welfare Foundation's primary objective was to improve education and literacy levels in areas lacking educational facilities. The foundation facilitated the admission of orphaned and underprivileged children into public and government schools and closely monitored their progress. However, initially, the foundation faced financial constraints and limited resources. Through the hard work of its employees and the support of Afghan individuals both within the country and abroad, Atta Welfare Foundation expanded its services within a year. Today, the foundation operates across the country, aiming to uplift impoverished communities lacking basic resources for a decent living. Mission: Atta Welfare Foundation is a non-political, non-governmental, and non-profit organization dedicated to serving humanity, particularly vulnerable individuals and orphans, in areas such as education, healthcare, water and sanitation, food security, employment, and livelihood support. Areas of Work: Initially operating in Nangarhar province, Atta Welfare Foundation has now expanded its reach to other provinces in Afghanistan. The foundation's work encompasses food relief programs, healthcare support, education initiatives, employment assistance, construction of wells and mosques, and other essential services. Atta Welfare Foundation believes that every act of charity contributes to a step towards heavenly blessings.
