Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Nurseries
Samsortya has helped to establish four nurseries to date in Eastern Afghanistan. The gardens are established on privately-held land and staffed by local workers. The spaces boast hundreds upon thousands of trees and plants of staggering variety. The harvest from each year is used to feed families in the neighborhood where the nursery is established.
Nangarhar Chicken Project
With protein being extremely rare in the average Afghan diet, Samsortya began raising money in 2015 for the Nangarhar Chicken Project. By donating poultry and several months' supply of feed to needy families, the residents of Eastern Afghanistan are able to feed their families with much needed protein and generate income through the sale of eggs. An initiative that started with two dozen birds, the Nangarhar Chicken Project has grown substantially with the help of funding from our supporters, with almost 500 chickens and several dozen turkeys having been donated by the summer of 2017. In the coming months, we hope to purchase more birds and expand the project to include other types of livestock that will have a significant impact on families' livelihoods.
Wells and Springs
Samsortya has funded the drilling of wells to supply clean water to the residents of the cities and villages where the nurseries are established. In Afghanistan, more than 75% of the population lacks access to clean water for drinking and bathing, making the wells one of Samsortya's top priorities. In addition to these wells being a consistent source of potable water for local Afghans, the water is used to irrigate the Samsortya nurseries and aid the growth of the thousands of trees that provide food, fuel, and employment to the villagers.
