About REHA:

Resilience, Environment, and Humanitarian Aid (REHA) is a national NGO registered with the Afghan Ministry of Economy, specializing in environmental protection, climate change, disaster risk reduction, and cross-cutting areas such as agriculture, livelihood support, and humanitarian assistance.

REHA’s unique strengths include designing and implementing advocacy campaigns, conducting capacity-building training, performing risk and vulnerability assessments, developing policies, and raising awareness. These efforts are complemented by physical interventions and community empowerment and development initiatives aimed at building resilience against natural and man-made disasters, emergencies, and climate change impacts.

With over 20 years of expertise, REHA’s team excels in climate change governance, disaster risk management, and environmental protection, supported by strong capabilities in program management, organizational strengthening, and financial and operational oversight.
