As the Executive Director of GSRO, I am honored to lead an organization devoted to empowering communities across Afghanistan through sustainable development, education, and essential support initiatives. Our mission is to uplift the lives of vulnerable populations by providing critical services, promoting access to quality education, and fostering economic growth opportunities, while celebrating the resilience and strength of the Afghan people.

GSRO’s commitment to sustainable change extends beyond immediate needs. As climate change increasingly impacts Afghanistan, particularly in rural areas, we recognize the urgent need to integrate climate resilience and adaptation into our programs. Our initiatives include climate-resilient agricultural practices, sustainable resource management, and raising community awareness to mitigate climate risks. By prioritizing these efforts, we not only strengthen livelihoods but also build resilient communities equipped to face environmental challenges.

Guided by the principles of accountability, gender inclusion, and protection, we strive to reach those most in need, especially women and marginalized groups. Through meaningful partnerships and active participation in key humanitarian forums, working groups, and clusters, we align our work with community priorities and amplify the reach and effectiveness of our services.

Warm regards,

Mahmood Azizi

Executive Director, GSRO
