Transforming orphans’ well-being holistically
Our program has been successful in achieving positive behavioural change in the children we house, who have been devastated by trauma. Massive improvements in their behaviour and psychological well being has been our landmark achievement.
A unique model for changing orphans’ lives
In addition to shelter, education, clothing and food, our children enjoy recreational activities to grow their interests and talents including sports days, music events and excursions. These create a safe and enjoyable environment for children to grow and thrive and excel in life beyond the Hope House.

Mahboba’s Promise is an Australian non-profit committed to aiding underprivileged women and children and other vulnerable groups in Afghanistan and Australia.
Founded in 2001 by Mahboba Rawi, an Afghan refugee who is now an Australian citizen, the organisation was established based on her firsthand experience of the profound impact of decades of war and civil unrest on her home country.
For 22 years using her deep understanding of the challenges in Afghanistan, Mahboba’s Promise has been able to deliver responsive, adaptable and impactful assistance directly to orphans and widows in the country and surrounding regions.
Our Hope Houses have been the cornerstone of our sustainable development efforts in Afghanistan since our organisation’s inception.
