More than two decade civil war has brought a
variety of social ills in Afghanistan, such as poverty, inter-ethnic strife, and widespread thievery
and kidnapping. The civil war had continued to kill, wound, and displace
hundreds of thousands of Afghans. All big cities, including Kabul, has
been largely without water, electricity, phones, and sewage systems.

Most Afghans do not have the facilities to
receive treatment at hospitals or clinics.
Now Afghanistan is a country where, on average
life expectancy for men is about 40 and 43
for women; where maternal mortality rate
is 1700/100,000 live births; mortality rate
for those under the age of five is 257/1,000
live births; Where only 1.9 physicians, 1.8
nurses and 0.4 midwives are for every 10,000
people. It's a country where hundreds of
thousands of people are disabled because
of the land mines and war.
