HELP - Health Education Ladies Program
SERVE's longest running program is Public
Health. It was first started in 1981 to work among
the Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Besides
publishing material and teaching about health
issues, the project was also involved at that time
in providing vaccinations. Currently, it's main
focus is to raise the level of health awareness for
children and their families by promoting good

Help for the Vulnerable
In times of war most victims are civilians and the
most vulnerable among them are woman and
children. Many woman and children have died in
Afghanistan, and those that survived are faced with
traumas, injuries and the loss of family members.
The infant mortality rate is very high: 150 children out
of every 1000 born die each year before their first
birthday. Besides the devastating impact of the war,
there are also other factors that make the situation
for woman and children very difficult. Many children
die because of diarrhoea or other diseases which
could be prevented through vaccinations or health
education. Mal-nourishment is a widespread
phenomena affecting approximately one fourth of
children under the age of three. To meet the need of
this vulnerable target group, SERVE developed two
projects: Public Health and the Family Casework
Program.
