There have been many measurable impacts of this project in the Kol-e-Hashmat Khan (KHK) Wetland, the first impact is the behavioral change of the community members in terms of protecting their environment and keep their surroundings clean. The perception of the community members has positively changed towards the protection and conservation of the KHK. The families and school students know very well about the importance of the KHK as the only eco-system in Kabul which is very crucial for their future. The waste storage has been decreased. The number of voluntary watchers to monitor the lake has increased in the area. Collaboration between the government authorities and stakeholders and among the community members has increased.

The community members are no more hunting the birds and they do not throw their garbage inside the lake. The number of migratory bird species has increased in the last two years. The water flow increased in the lake, and the KHK became the largest ecosystem for the climate of Kabul city. The number of water birds and fishes increased and the KHK lake became a safe habitat for them.

The Waste Management initiative of this project became a model. For instance, the same initiative was proposed by AYG and funded by OXFAM which is currently being implemented in the west part of Kabul city. This waste management model and approach is applied in an area of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returnees from the neighboring countries. This initiative will be long lasting in terms of making the environment free of waste and plastics pollutions and generating income and opportunities for livelihood development of communities.
