Children of Afghanistan

Helping children affected by land mines and decades of war with medical supplies, mobility aids and everyday essentials.

Why we are here

Small acts of care.
A meaningful difference.

Founded by Khadija Omar, Handicapped Children of Afghanistan began with a simple purpose: to help children living with the consequences of war.

That work continues through community support, practical assistance and a commitment to the children and families who need it.

A legacy of compassion

Remembering Khadija Omar.

After moving to the United States, Khadija never forgot the children of her home country. With the support of the Colorado community, she raised funds and organized supplies for children in Afghanistan.

Her care and determination remain at the heart of this organization.
