Direct Action in Afghanistan

Supporting Self-Reliant Afghan Women, Girls, Families & Communities.

“Homesteading” is a lifestyle of self-reliance and self sufficiency, rooted in sustainable farming, animal husbandry, preservation of foodstuffs, and trading in natural resource commodities. Historically, Afghanistan has been an agricultural nation, where families and communities produce a majority of what they need to survive and thrive on their own land, with their own hands.

Homestead Afghanistan has developed a holistic platform of self-reliance activities, designed to address the multifaceted needs of a successful and productive family homestead. Demonstration and extension farms will produce seeds, seedlings and saplings, and house livestock breeding programs, all intended to educate and employ while supplying startup resources to beneficiary family farms and communities.

Homestead Afghanistan believes that in supporting Afghan families and communities to once again become self-sufficient and self-reliant at the family and community level, a more stable and prosperous Afghanistan, resistant to natural and political shocks, will emerge.
