Social Inclusion Programme

Afghanistan, Kabul, Herat, Mazar, Jalalabad, Kapisa, Faizabad, Helmand. 2022-2023. Beneficiaries: approximately 20,000 people with disabilities.

A giugno 2022, NOVE ha siglato un accordo di collaborazione con il Comitato Internazionale della Croce Rossa (ICRC) per l’attuazione del Programma di Inclusione Sociale per le persone con disabilità. Sulla base dell’accordo, NOVE gestisce il programma di inclusione sociale di ICRC, mettendo a disposizione l’esperienza del suo board member Alberto Cairo, responsabile del programma di riabilitazione fisica di ICRC da oltre 30 anni.

The programme consists of three operational areas. One is dedicated to social inclusion through sports activities, education, vocational training, microfinancing and job placement.

The second focuses on home care for people with spinal cord injuries and their families. The third, called Safety Net, supports people with disabilities who are household heads facing particularly difficult economic conditions.

The ICRC-NOVE agreement helps to protect the rights of persons with disabilities. "People with disabilities in Afghanistan are among the most vulnerable, and the agreement with NOVE will ensure the continued support of tens of thousands of men, women and children with life-changing services," said the ICRC Head of Delegation in Afghanistan.
