About Company

About SEARCH Organization : Society Educational Awareness, Research, Consultancy, and Health Organization (SEARCH) is an independent registered non-government and nonprofit civil society organization. SEARCH's prime motto is capacity building and services delivery to the deprived and marginalized people of the society. In 2015 a group of educated, dynamic, and like-minded youth working in the development sector, got together to establish an organization, for addressing the most urgent and pressing needs of the people of Afghanistan. True to this spirit the organization was named Society Educational Awareness, Research, Consultancy, and Health Organization (SEARCH). Considering their association with the development sector the group was cognizant of the plethora of problems plaguing the country. Consequently, the organization’s focus was not kept limited either in terms of geography or sector. Whilst operating in different provinces of the country, SEARCH has been carrying a range of interventions in the areas of education, health & hygiene, youth & women empowerment, emergency response & preparedness, governance, free legal aid, human rights, etc. The type of activities undertaken by the organization range from capacity building to service delivery, with the focus remaining on the deprived and marginalized segments of the society. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes SEARCHO’s functioning is its efforts to (a) enlist the involvement of the locals when initiating activities at the grass-root level; and (b) mobilize women for bringing peace, tolerance, and development in society.
