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.

Sharing

by Mobile Mini Circus for Children

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.

Back To Life

by Mobile Mini Circus for Children

Millions of resilient and full-of-potential Afghan children deserve hope, joy, and laughter for a brighter future. Since 2002, MMCC has brought joy, learning, and laughter to their lives, offering educational entertainment and psychosocial support as challenges grow. Though many donors and NGOs have moved on, we remain dedicated to our mission. Join us in bringing laughter, fun, food, and hope to Afghanistan's children, helping them envision a future filled with possibility and light.

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!

Support Children's Literacy in Afghanistan

by Charmaghz Cultural Services Organization

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.

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!

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.

Jewish Humanitarian Response (JHR), incubated by the Aleph Institute (Aleph), has been evacuating vulnerable Afghans who are on Taliban kill lists and resettling them in countries abroad. We have served many groups that the Taliban have sworn to kill, one of them being Afghan prosecutors.
