Khadem Hussein Rahimi is the Shelter Project Coordinator for the Norwegian Refugee Council based in Herat Province, Afghanistan. He has got field based experiences in providing shelter assistance to Afghan Refugee Returnees and Internally Displaced Populations in the West Afghanistan since 2011.
Khadem has experienced both living in a neighbouring country as a refugee and then in a new community within the country. He was born in central Afghanistan but had to be displaced with his parents, first to Kabul and then to a neighbouring country for 15 years. He then returned back to the country during Taliban Regime but decided to stay in Herat City as there was no hope for him to survive in his place of birth. He therefore, understands well how it looks like being a refugee, refugee returnee and/or internally displaced which makes him very passionate and committed in assisting displaced population.
