About HMLO

Human Management and Leadership Organization (HMLO) is a national, non-government, and non-profit civil society organization registered in December 2020 with the Directorate of NonGovernment Organizations under the law of the Ministry of Economy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. It is based in Kabul, Afghanistan. The prime motto of HMLO is to build the capacity of the war-stricken people of Afghanistan by ensuring quality social services delivery to the most deprived and most marginalized people of the society. The inception and establishment of HMLO is a direct result of a few like-minded, humanistic and empathetic sentiments of a group of patriotic nationalists who in collaboration envisioned a robust society well equipped with the art of living tinctured with civilization, civility, and sufficiently tolerable respect the rights of all others. True to the essence, the organization was named as Human Management and Leadership Organization. Considering their staunch association with the multifaceted social fabric of Afghan society, the cognizant group initially commenced voluntary but scattered efforts to help out the neediest and most marginalized and later on decided to shape their effort into more consolidated, durable, and impactful ones. HMLO since its inception has been carrying out a range of interventions in the areas of education, health & hygiene, youth & women empowerment, emergency response & preparedness, governance, free legal aid, human rights, rehabilitation, etc. The type of activities undertaken by the HMLO range from capacity building to service delivery, with the focus remaining on the deprived and marginalized segments of the society. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes HMLO’s functioning are its efforts to: (a) Enlist involvement of the locals when initiating activities at the grass-root level; (b) Mobilize women, youth, and the most marginalized for bringing peace, tolerance, and development in society. Although a relatively new entry in the development arena, HMLO – owing to the linkages of its members with national & international funding agencies – enjoys a diverse portfolio, characterized by the partnership with international organizations, Ministry of Human Rights & Rural Development, Ministry of Public health and Ministry of Women Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. HMLO is committed to contributing to the overall well-being of the poverty-stricken and multiplagued society of Afghanistan.
