PIN in Afghanistan
People in Need (PIN) is a Czech NGO that provides relief and development assistance in over 20 countries around the world. Formed in 1992, PIN has evolved into the biggest organization of its kind in post-communist Europe, providing relief and development aid where it is needed, and empowering civil society at home and abroad. In Afghanistan, PIN has been active since 2001, responding to humanitarian needs where they arise, and through targeted development programmes. Currently, PIN focuses primarily on Emergency Response, Food Security & Livelihoods, Education and Shelter, with support from a variety of donors. By working closely with the communities, PIN has managed to maintain a significant field presence in Afghanistan.
