The representative office of Hilfswerk International began its activities in the Republic of Tajikistan in 2001, after the events of September 11 of the same year. After the start of hostile action in Afghanistan, the head office of Hilfswerk International in Vienna decided to provide humanitarian assistance to areas affected by active fighting. However, due to difficult communication with Afghanistan at that time, a representative office was opened in Tajikistan. Along with the implementation of the main activities in Afghanistan, project work also started in Tajikistan.
History
Since the very beginning, Hilfswerk International focused on projects targeting social support and economic development. It maintains close cooperation with government facilities and local non-governmental organizations to provide coping strategies for local people after natural disasters.
During the last decade, Hilfswerk International also reached out to neighboring countries in Central Asia. Since 2008 it coordinates projects aimed at economic development in Kyrgyzstan and since 2014 likewise in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

Partners
During the last two decades, Hilfswerk International in Tajikistan has been working with more than 30 partners from 12 different countries on diverse projects.
We thank all partners for successful cooperation.
