Aftab Society is a
non-governmental organization founded in
1998. Its activities are centred to three
area of education and prevention, treatment
and social acceptance, and support of
families of drug addicts. Right from the
outset one of the long-term objectives has
been to expand the activities to all
provinces across the country, particularly
the deprived and dangerous provinces. Today
part of these long-term objectives have been
fulfilled, and as well as prevention and
culture building, over the last year and a
half the society has started its treatment
activities too. The society has managed to
set up 2 offices in 2 provinces.
The aftab society
believed that the move towards the control
and reduction of social problems is not
possible without nationwide participation
and legal and private communication between
individuals and organizations. To this aim
the most important factor in advancement is
the unification of conconous to optimally
utilize facilities and remove legal cultural
and economic obstacles. And this factor has
resulted in the increase in the population’s
effort and basis for mutual cooperation
among organizations (judicial, welfare,
police, university, and most importantly the
private individuals).
Aftab Society, registered
in the UN list of NGOs, is the largest NGO

treatment of drug addiction and offers
