Why livelihoods?
Effective and sustainable livelihood strategies will enable households to feed and educate their children, access health services and adapt to various stressors as they arise.
Drought, flooding, insect infestations, disease: these problems encountered by rural Afghans eat away at their ability to provide for themselves. By working in collaboration with vulnerable villages, the Dollar-a-Day team provides an opportunity for people to rebuild their livelihood strategies so they can meet their own needs in the long term.

working with highly vulnerable Afghans
One dollar per day.
Over half of the Afghan population lives on less than this paltry daily sum.
Dollar-a-Day is a non-profit organization committed to working with Afghans who live below the international poverty line (currently set at USD $1.25).
Our goal is to rebuild livelihood strategies so that the most vulnerable children, women and men of Afghanistan have sustainable access to life’s most basic resources over the longterm: safe and sufficient water, sufficient and nutritious food.
