HR Intern

Hagar was established in 1994 in Cambodia to serve and support women and children who have survived severe exploitation and human rights abuses. In 2009, Hagar expanded its unique whole journey model of long-term, individualized care to Afghanistan and Vietnam. In 2015, Hagar also started delivering services in Singapore, Myanmar, and the Solomon Islands. We walk the whole journey of restoration with each survivor, empower communities to prevent exploitation, and strengthen systems to protect the vulnerable.

Hagar International in Afghanistan implements several integrated programs designed to help survivors recover from trauma and rebuild their lives. These include running Child-Friendly Spaces in IDP camps, economic empowerment initiatives and resilient livelihoods programs, community-based child protection programs, humanitarian relief projects, primary health care services, and emergency response activities.
