The authorities said the children would be sent to 30 hospitals across Germany for treatment under a scheme run by the organization "Children need us."
The return charter flight is to bring home 20 Afghan youngsters who have successfully undergone treatment in German hospitals.
Some 300 Afghan children have undergone surgery in Germany since 2002, most of them victims of bomb blasts, accidental burns, or heart complaints.
