Alberto Cairo Biography

Alberto Cairo is the leader of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRCorthopedic )'s program in Afghanistan. He's spent the past two decades in this war-torn country, far from his homeland of Italy, assisting an estimated 100,000 Afghan landmine and accident victims in regaining the power to not only walk but also to hope. Alberto discovered a method to provide tens of thousands of handicapped Afghans a job and a feeling of dignity and pride through micro-loans, positive discrimination initiatives, and homeschooling in a country where the disabled are often treated with sympathy but no rights. According to the New York Times' John F. Burns, Afghans of all ethnic and political hues, including the Taliban, are likely to remember Alberto Cairo as one of the few foreigners who left the nation better than he found it. Storie da Kabul, a diary based on a series of tales he wrote for La Repubblica in Italy, has been published in both Italian and French.
