Introduction
Razi Social Development Organization (RSDO) is a national, non-governmental organization established on 11 April 2008 and officially registered with the Ministry of Economy of Afghanistan. Headquartered in Herat, RSDO has expanded its operational footprint across the western region, with sub-offices in Ghor, Badghis, and Farah provinces. The organization delivers inclusive and community-driven social development and humanitarian services to vulnerable and marginalized populations in remote and underserved areas.

Organizational Background
RSDO’s foundation dates back to 2002, when its initial activities were launched under the name Abu Hanifeh Orphan High School. The initiative focused on supporting orphaned children affected by prolonged conflict, enabling them to access education and rebuild their futures.

With financial support from the Embassy of Japan, a dedicated school facility was constructed to serve orphan students. The organization further expanded its scope with the support of HELP Germany, gradually transitioning into a multi-sectoral development and humanitarian actor. Through sustained commitment, institutional growth, and strategic partnerships, RSDO has evolved into a well-established organization, currently employing over 350 staff and operating across the western provinces of Afghanistan.

Mandate
RSDO is committed to delivering principled, needs-based humanitarian assistance to vulnerable households across western Afghanistan. The organization works in close partnership with United Nations agencies and international donors to ensure effective, accountable, and impact-driven interventions.

Mission
RSDO is dedicated to contributing to a peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous Afghanistan, where women and men live with dignity, equality, and mutual respect. The organization implements integrated programs across key sectors, including women’s empowerment, education, agriculture, capacity building, and sustainable livelihoods.

Vision
RSDO envisions an Afghanistan free from illiteracy, where all children—girls and boys alike—have equitable access to quality education that empowers them to improve their lives and actively contribute to the country’s long-term development
