The compounding effects of drought, displacement, decades of conflict, and COVID-19 are creating a massive humanitarian crisis for children and families in Afghanistan. An estimated 18.4 million men, women, and children are in need of life-saving aid.
Food insecurity is on the rise, with more than half of Afghanistan’s population living below the poverty line. A water crisis is also unfolding. Communities are struggling to get enough water for livestock and agriculture, as well as for drinking and hygiene.
Additionally, following the recent conflict and threat of COVID-19, the healthcare system is in near-collapse. COVID-19 is having a particularly dramatic impact on women and girls, further compounding a multitude of daily challenges including protection risks and human rights violations.
World Vision has been equipping and empowering children and families in need in Afghanistan for over 20 years through proven programs in health, nutrition, child protection, clean water and sanitation, livelihoods, and education — and we’re committed to serving long term. Help us deliver essential aid to 1 million vulnerable children and families by donating today.
Pray for the safety of children in Afghanistan amid conflict in the country. Pray that God would bring peace to this country so that children and families might live without fear of violence.
Pray for the health of Afghan children and their families; that they be protected from the effects of the hunger crisis.
Pray for the safety and stamina of World Vision staff on the front lines.
Our Commitment
Your gift is a sacred trust. We promise to honor your generosity by using your donation in the most effective way possible. Giving options represent World Vision projects and suggested donation amounts are based on surveys in the countries where we serve. Your donation will be used to provide assistance where it's needed most with the gift category. For example, when you give an animal gift, a portion of the gift may also help provide water sources, farming assistance, hunger relief, and other related essentials.
The multiplying effect from grants and donated goods may change throughout the year on identical or similar offers due to variations in the start and end dates of donor grants and our programs.
