Background

Female rehabilitation and development organization (FRDO) was established in Kabul Province in the year 1995.

FRDO organization Established in 1995 and for 28 years the activity has already completed about 86 projects to be completed. By the help of almighty Allah and effective collaboration and decision of a number of skilled Afghan engineers, doctors, teachers, intellectuals and mid wives we fortunately succeeded to set up the foundation of a general welfare non-governmental non profitable and nonpolitical organization with the clear complete and standardized methods and rule/ regulation under the tide of Female Rehabilitation and Development Organization (FRDO) in accordance with the disciplinary rules of UN and other international and national agencies.

FRDO consists of five member’s board of directories and ten qualified and experienced staff members mostly Afghans. FRDO is working for the welfare, reconstruction and development of our beloved and war-torn country Afghanistan to contribute in rehabilitation and reconstruction of the country. We are committed to achieve the (FRDO) charter through empowering afghan women folk to participate in social, economic and productive activities.

(FRDO) as an Afghan operated nonpolitical and non-profitable national organization was established in January 1995 with the main objective to improve socioeconomic status of vulnerable and isolated Afghan women through their direct involvement in social and economic interactions in the historic city of Mazar-e-Sharif we worked there for three years during that time we were very successful and complete many projects. Then due to some political unrest our office in Mazar-e Sharif was looted and we were forced to leave Afghanistan. We migrated to Peshawar Pakistan first of all we registered our organization with the government of Pakistan and started our routine works for the rehabilitation of the vulnerable Afghan refugees living in refugee camps in Pakistan. Presently FRDO is registered with ACBAR, ANCB and Afghan commissioner etc.

FRDO main office is in Kabul and sub office in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Afghan society women is the most deprived portion of community regarding cultural norms, nutrition, security, education, access to health services and training facilities.
