What We Do
Emergency Response and Humanitarian Relief
We respond to Afghanistan’s complex humanitarian crisis with rapid, life-saving interventions and long-term resilience-building efforts.
Food Security and Nutrition
CEI addresses Afghanistan’s worsening food and nutrition crisis by combining emergency assistance with long-term, nutrition-sensitive solutions, targeting the most vulnerable through food aid, cash support, child malnutrition screening, and resilient livelihood strategies.
Livelihoods and Economic Resilience
We strengthen Afghanistan’s deepening economic fragility by restoring livelihoods through cash-for-work, climate-smart agriculture, youth and women’s economic empowerment, and market-driven entrepreneurship in the face of systemic poverty, displacement, and climate shocks.
Health and Well-Being
We delivers life-saving health and nutrition services in Afghanistan’s collapsing health landscape through mobile outreach, maternal and child healthcare, MHPSS, nutrition rehabilitation, WASH, and capacity building—to reduce preventable deaths and strengthen community resilience.
Education and Capacity Building
Our education and capacity-building initiatives offer a lifeline in Afghanistan’s ongoing education crisis—providing flexible, gender-responsive, and community-based learning opportunities for out-of-school children, youth, and women in hard-to-reach and underserved areas.
