Global Partnership for Afghanistan

Global Partnership for Afghanistan (GPFA) works with rural Afghans to create farm businesses that alleviate poverty, build sustainable livelihoods and promote economic development.

GPFA partners with individuals, governments and institutions to provide the technical inputs, capital, supplies, and infrastructural and community support required to rebuild Afghanistan’s agrarian economy and create a better future for Afghan farm families.

GPFA is a people-to people, capacity-building nonprofit organization that is helping self-reliant Afghan farmers restore their livelihoods and their country’s economic and environmental sustainability. Since2004, GPFA’s community-based programs have provided thousands of Afghan men and women with the planting supplies, tools and training they need to revitalize and rebuild the vast network of farmer-owned nurseries, orchard, vineyard and woodlot enterprises that have long formed the backbone of Afghanistan’s economy. With an established presence in central and northern Afghanistan, GPFA is expanding its operations province by province to help ensure a secure, prosperous and healthy future for the country.

Please take a look at their website and see what amazing things this group is doing to better the lives of the farmers of Afghanistan:
