Many Afghans were trapped by sheer propaganda and rumors that a better life was awaiting Afghans in Europe.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a result a remarkable number of Afghans \u2013 in particular from Herat \u2013 took hasty decisions without knowing the consequences. They sold out all their properties and left their homeland for Europe \u2013 illegally. On the way to Europe, besides financial losses, many were injured, killed, drowned or lost members of family \u2013 tragedies that could be avoided had they stayed home.To reduce the number of immigrants and help Afghans make informed decisions, the Organization for Sustainable Aid in Afghanistan \/ OSAA \u2013 facilitated by Help \u2013 proposed and received a project from the German Foreign Office:\u00a0<em>\u201cTheatre Production and Asylum Information Campaign on Risks of Emigration and Good Reasons to Stay in Afghanistan\u201d<\/em>. Under this project, OSAA reached out to more than 20,000 young potential asylum seekers. The main tool has been the 23 live theatre-performances, carried out at 10 high schools (male and female), 3 universities (Herat Public University and two private universities) \u2013 the districts of Karokh and Zendajan, 3 returnee settlements, the border town of Islam Qala and Arg Hotel in Herat City.In addition, OSAA produced 8 TV-spots, a 6-episode series, and a song titled\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cI will never go\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>on the risks of emigration and good reasons to stay in Afghanistan. These TV spots were broadcasted in the prime-time of 5 local TV networks. Similarly, a documentary on immigration and its consequences was produced, portraying the life stories and challenges of 4 Herati families who have been to Europe and \u2013 following sad happenings there \u2013 had returned. The documentary shows promising opportunities and perspectives for Afghans to build their country.The last major activity was the production and distribution of leaflets and brochures to potential asylum seekers. With these we informed young people on the chance to register for vocational training courses in Herat, learn a trade and find a job in the local market, with the support of OSAA and Help. 10,000 brochures and 10,000 leaflets were distributed in the areas where theatre live performances took place. 6,000 brochures were in Dari and 4.000 in Pashto. 1,000 notebooks portraying photos and mottos to stop illegal immigration were also handed out.\n<p>OSAA is proud to state that we over-performed and could achieve more and better results than budgeted and mandated by the donor. We also assisted the Herat DoIC and its Theater-Unit technically and financially. At the end of the project, we conducted a public closing-ceremony. Representatives of the Government, NGOs and local media attended and praised the project and its broad positive impact on the people and social coherence of Herat-Province.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall, the project had a great impact on the people living in Herat. Almost all residents of Herat city and districts have been covered and many young people could be convinced to stay and work for their country rather than venturing on the risky path of emigration.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In fact, more than 300 young women and men did register for vocational training course after attending a play + information event. They will start 6 months TVET in May 2017.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-504969e36c0b2251a\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-504969e36c0b2251a uvc-887 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-504969e36c0b2251a .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<h3 data-block-key=\"j96du\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3709\" src=\"https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1-300x133.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1-1024x452.png 1024w, https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1-768x339.png 768w, https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1-500x221.png 500w, https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1-800x353.png 800w, https:\/\/osaa.af\/new-osaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OSAA-Logo-1075x475-1.png 1075w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 data-block-key=\"j96du\">Our contact details<\/h3>\n<p data-block-key=\"4s0lc\">Organization for Sustainable Aid in Afghanistan-OSAA<br \/>\n<b>Tel<\/b>: +93(0)797789020<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"bcsa\"><b>General email:<\/b>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@osaa.af\">info@osaa.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"bcsa\"><b>General email:<\/b>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:yaqobi@osaa.af\">yaqobi@osaa.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"df2bl\"><b>Registered office: <\/b>\u00a0Herat &#8211; Afghanistan<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-156169e36c0b22549\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-156169e36c0b22549 uvc-5525 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-156169e36c0b22549 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<h3 data-block-key=\"j96du\">Get in touch<\/h3>\n<p><\/div><\/div><p class=\"wpcf7-contact-form-not-found\"><strong>\u062e\u0637\u0627:<\/strong> \u0641\u0631\u0645 \u062a\u0645\u0627\u0633 \u067e\u06cc\u062f\u0627 \u0646\u0634\u062f.<\/p>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-551769e36c0b225cb\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-551769e36c0b225cb uvc-8078 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-551769e36c0b225cb .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<h3 data-block-key=\"j96du\">What We Do<\/h3>\n<p><\/div><\/div>[vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=&#8221;52&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1746007535094{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-34169e36c0b225dd\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-34169e36c0b225dd uvc-7282 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-34169e36c0b225dd .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"> \u00a9 2025 <strong>OSAA<\/strong>\u00a0Organization for Sustainable Aid in Afghanistan-OSAA\u00a0.
