Context-led
Adapt to Afghanistan's legal, social, humanitarian, financial and technological circumstances.
Mission and strategic vision
Relieve child poverty while building evidence for what could work.
Over five years, Suraya Foundation aims to develop, test and progressively scale a transparent, accountable and electronically enabled social-protection framework designed specifically for Afghanistan's circumstances.
Our registered charitable purpose
“relief of poverty in Afghanistan through the provision of food, shelter, education and all other necessary care for children.”
Programme design and any expansion must remain consistent with this purpose.
Design principles
Learn from useful principles; design for Afghanistan
Safeguarded
Put children, women and vulnerable households at the centre of risk decisions.
Evidence-led
Use measured results and independent evaluation to determine development.
Interoperable
Plan for responsible collaboration rather than a closed, proprietary system.
The boundary is explicit
What the Foundation proposes
Pilot carefully, document rigorously, collaborate openly and build a credible pathway that qualified institutions can examine.
What the Foundation does not claim
Governmental authority, current operation of a national scheme, guaranteed national adoption, or endorsement by the institutions this work seeks to engage.
Responsible collaboration
