Poverty alleviation for Orphans and Vulnerable Children remains the key priority action area for Ainembabazi as an organization. Poverty however is more than just increasing income for community members. Fundamentally poverty is about lack of choice – when it comes to education, food, health and other basic human needs and rights. This lack of choice in basic human rights contributes to a lack of hope for the future. It leaves people in basic survival mode and in a vicious cycle of poverty. The programming of Ainembabazi is thus focused on the three critical priority areas of income generation, health and education as the fundamental holistic components to promoting healthy individuals and communities with a choice for their future. Ainembabazi is about creating and supporting those choices and opportunities.

Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan is a volunteer not-for-profit organization founded in 1996 with over ten chapters across Canada. The goals are to advance education and educational opportunities for Afghan women and their families; and to educate and increase the understanding of Canadians about human rights in Afghanistan.

The projects are funded mainly from individual donations from Canadians. Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan members were honoured with the YMCA Calgary Peace Award in the International category for their long-standing contribution to supporting peace and human rights for Afghan women and their families.
