This page contains historical volunteering listings and informational content related to Afghanistan previously published on Voluntouring.org.
Older in-person opportunities should not be interpreted as current invitations to travel. Their continued presence in the archive is primarily for historical and informational purposes.
Current safety warning ⚠️
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office currently advises against all travel to Afghanistan. Risks include detention, kidnapping, terrorism and armed violence, while consular assistance may be extremely limited. Border crossings and transport conditions can also change without notice.
Voluntouring does not recommend travelling to Afghanistan in response to an online volunteer listing under the current conditions. Check the latest official travel advice and the guidance issued by your own government before considering any travel.
How to use this archive
Some announcements below were published several years ago and may no longer be active. Do not interpret an old host message, contact detail or invitation as confirmation that an organisation is currently able to receive international volunteers safely.
If you contact an organisation for information, verify its current identity, activities and status independently. Do not make travel arrangements or payments based only on an old listing, social media message or invitation from a local contact.
Publication on Voluntouring.org does not constitute verification, endorsement or a recommendation of an organisation or programme.
Supporting Afghan communities without travelling
People wishing to support Afghan communities may consider remote volunteering, established humanitarian organisations or other forms of assistance that do not require travelling to Afghanistan.
You can also read Voluntouring’s older article about ways to help Afghanistan. It was originally published in 2021, so verify the current status of any organisation, campaign or donation method before contributing.
For additional guidance, read our safety and legality information.
