Disaster Response Afghanistan Project #53411

Afghanistan Emergency Fund

What's Happening and How to Help

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support for survivors of natural disasters like these. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges.

The projects listed below are led by vetted GlobalGiving partners responding to this disaster. You can donate directly to a specific project or to GlobalGiving’s Afghanistan Emergency Fund and we'll allocate it to where it's needed most. GlobalGiving will post reports about how your donation has been put to use.

Help Educate Women & Girls in Afghanistan

by Sahar Education

Since August 2021, the Taliban banned education for girls above 6th grade in Afghanistan. This put a stop to school projects in the region led by Sahar. Instead of giving up on the girls of the region, we have embraced new ways of working with local teachers and organizations to improve equity for girls in Afghanistan through multiple programs in partnership with local organizations. Current programs focus on literacy, computer skills, English, women's empowerment, sewing, and coding!

Back To Life

by Mobile Mini Circus for Children

Millions of traumatized children & youth in Afghanistan need to be hopeful, joyful, inspired, and invest in a bright future. The war, poverty, coronavirus, starvation, and the cold winter are imposing increasing depression & hopelessness. MMCC since 2002 has been the major source of educational entertainment, fun, and hope. Most mainstream donors and international resources have abandoned Afghanistan. Join us to bring educational entertainment fun, laughter, food, and hope for the children.

Sharing

by Mobile Mini Circus for Children

More than five million children in Afghanistan are on the brink of starvation, with the nation enduring the worst drought since records began against a backdrop of political and economic turmoil. We provide lunch, food packages, and food supplements for some of the most underprivileged families while mobilizing the youth to create joyful activities and bring hope into their communities.

Support Children's Literacy in Afghanistan

by Charmaghz Cultural Services Organization

Charmaghz is an Afghan education non-profit based in Kabul that has run mobile libraries for marginalized children since 2018. Now more than ever, we believe Afghan children have a right to quality education as well as a peaceful future--both of which must begin with a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy. We are doubling-down on our commitment to support Afghan children to develop critical skills in reading, writing, and basic maths. Our country's future depends on it.

Afghan Women and Girl's Survival Fund

by MADRE, An International Women's Human Rights Org.

MADRE is increasing resources to our Afghan Women and Girls' Survival Fund to support the urgent protection and relocation needs of women human rights defenders, as many activists and human rights defenders are unable to leave conflict areas throughout Afghanistan. MADRE's Fund provides resources for urgent needs, legal aid, security assistance, emergency transport, and safe passage, as well as funding families willing to house activists at great personal risk.

Help schools, victims of terror attacks and IDPs

by Bamyan Foundation

This project will help victims of terrorist attacks and vulnerable populations at risk of famine and drought due to collapse of the Afghan government. Due to school terror attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan, we will provide assistance to the families of victims and scholarships to the traumatized students. We will provide support to the internally displaced, vulnerable families, journalists, and refugees in neighboring countries with cash assistance for food, shelter and basic necessities.

Supporting Afghan Women and Girls on the Move

by Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants

Given the situation of women and girls under the reign of the Taliban and the traumatic experiences during the journey to Turkey, this project strives for providing a comprehensive protection mechanism for the Afghan women and girls in order to meet their basic needs and support their well-being. Within this context, the project has three major components: provision of female hygiene kit and basic emergency kit; legal counselling and assistance; psychosocial support.

Provide Care for Afghanistan's Abandoned Children

by Global Roots

We have been working to improve the lives of orphaned, abandoned and underserved children in Afghanistan since 2010. We started with a locally managed food security program (greenhouse and chicken farm) that helped hundreds of orphaned children find loving foster homes simply because they came with food. In 2020, we launched a home-based poultry program for war widows and we opened a vocational school for orphaned girls. Despite great challenges, all programs are active today!

On the evening of July 22nd, Afghanistan experienced torrential rainfall across several parts of the country, causing flash flooding.

Emergency Aid for Afghan Families

by Afghan Institute of Learning

Poor Afghans in Afghanistan are particularly vulnerable in times of disaster, whether natural or economic. Those without jobs, food or homes face starvation in harsh winter weather or after other natural disasters or following displacement. In recent years, there have been landslides, earthquakes and flooding incidents where we have been able to provide help.

Protect Families in Afghanistan

by The HALO Trust

Nearly 40 years of conflict have left Afghanistan with a deadly legacy of landmines and explosives that have killed and injured tens of thousands of people. Also because of the situation, Afghans are particularly vulnerable in times of disaster when floods or earthquakes strike. HALO's work plays a crucial role in stabilizing communities in Afghanistan by clearing explosives and responding in times of natural disaster.

Support vulnerable families in rural Afghanistan

by Afghanaid

Forty years of war and insecurity, chronic poverty, repeated droughts and the COVID-19 pandemic had already had a devastating impact on the people of Afghanistan. Now, a year on from the Taliban takeover, for many millions of families, the humanitarian emergency is set to worsen still as we move into another Afghan winter. We are raising funds to deliver vital emergency relief to families in some of the most remote areas of the country whose lives have been affected by the ongoing crisis.

Helping Afghan Children Go to School in Pakistan

Protect Journalists Under Threat in Afghanistan

In Afghanistan, journalists have played a critical role in providing local communities with accurate and accessible information.

Connecting refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine

by Telecoms Sans Frontieres

4M refugees have already fled Ukraine to seek refuge in the neighbouring countries. Families are separated, since it's often women and children who can leave the country. Being forced to leave part of their family behind and having little information on what awaits them beyond the border puts them in a distressing situation. TSF provides them relief through free internet connectivity which helps them remain in contact with their relatives and look for essential information for their future.

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
