Do No Harm Commitment

At PTCRO, we are firmly committed to the “Do No Harm” principle in all aspects of our work. We recognize that humanitarian and development interventions, if not carefully designed and implemented, may unintentionally cause harm to the very communities we aim to support.

To uphold this commitment:

• We prioritize the safety, dignity, and rights of all individuals, especially vulnerable groups such as women, children, IDPs, and marginalized communities.
• We conduct context-sensitive assessments to ensure our interventions are culturally appropriate and conflict-sensitive.
• We engage communities throughout the project cycle to ensure that our actions reflect their needs and realities.
• We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards exploitation, abuse, discrimination, or any form of harm associated with our operations.
• We continuously monitor, evaluate, and adapt our programs to prevent unintended negative consequences and promote sustainable, positive outcomes.

By embedding the Do No Harm approach into our policies, training, and practices, PTCRO ensures that its interventions contribute to resilience, inclusion, and peace — rather than division or dependency.

Coverage Area

Expanding from its origins in Kabul and Nangarhar, PTCRO now operates across multiple provinces, including Badakhshan, Takhar, Balk, Logar, Parwan, Wardak, Herat and Ghazni. The organization confronts critical issues that hinder the country’s progress and the well-being of Afghan society.

Our Strategy

We partner with national and international stakeholders who share the same mission to help Afghans secure a better life. We intend to achieve our mission, by implementing training and capacity building programs, providing hand holding support for enterprise development and start-ups, seeking ways for establishing a sustainable livelihood source for Afghan women and vulnerable groups, providing humanitarian aid and support, and improving access to health services through increasing access to medicine, health care services, nutrition and implementing hygiene programs.
