We do respect the rights of all children irrespective of their sexuality, gender, religious, ethnicity, language, disability, etc. Disabled children have the same rights as all children. We recognize the risks to children and the responsibilities to keep them safe.

SAF in 2010 developed a child protection policy aims at protecting children from intentional and non-intentional harm or abuse. Based on this policy, SAF and its employees are committed to consider the international standards and terms of the constitution of Afghanistan about the children rights at its / their activities and adjust its / their standard operating procedures.

The policy also makes SAF and its employees to consider the following principles as stipulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of Children and Constitution of Afghanistan:

• All children have equal rights to protection from abuse and exploitation;
• Everyone has responsibility to support, care and protection of children;
• SAF has to pay attention and to let the employees (Parents or Care givers) to take care of their kids;
• Parents, educators and others are not exempted of children responsibilities; and
• SAF cannot tolerate and will not accept any child abuse.
• SAF prohibited any form of child labour/employment in its operation 

It is worthy of sharing, that SAF so far has implemented various child protection projects in many provinces (Faryab, Takhar, Kunduz, Saripul and Balkh) of Afghanistan, in order to ensure all the children especially the working and street children enjoy equal rights, have opportunities to grow as all normal children and have access to better protection (from abuse and exploitation), education, health facilities and recreational activities.
