Afghanistan Emergency Response

Act to help Afghan children and families.

The compounding effects of drought, displacement, decades of conflict, and the pandemic have created a massive humanitarian crisis for children and families in Afghanistan. Millions of children and their families are in need of life-saving aid.

Food insecurity has skyrocketed, with more than half of Afghanistan’s population living below the poverty line. A water crisis has also left communities across the country struggling to get enough water for livestock and agriculture, as well as for drinking and hygiene.

Additionally, due to the impacts of conflict, COVID-19, and societal strain, the healthcare system is in near-collapse. The humanitarian crisis 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.
