Thank you for your generous donation to the Afghanistan Emergency Fund. Donations to this GlobalGiving fund continue to make a difference, helping Afghan communities to survive harsh conditions caused by human-made disasters and natural hazards, and responding to ongoing forced displacement.
Since our last report, donations from the Afghanistan Emergency Fund have supported grants to 11 high-impact and community-led nonprofit organizations at the forefront of the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Tragically, since then, Afghanistan’s Herat province has been hit by several devastating earthquakes. The earthquakes killed thousands of people and created additional humanitarian needs in the country. The majority of those killed, injured, or missing were women, given their restricted employment and education opportunities outside the home. Although GlobalGiving launched an Afghanistan Earthquake Relief Fund, fortunately, many of our partners in the country were well positioned to respond thanks to grants from the Afghanistan Emergency Fund.
Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported:
GlobalGiving’s flexible, trust-based approach to funding before, during, and after crises—including from the Afghanistan Emergency Fund—means partners can pivot to address unforeseen catastrophes when they strike. That includes delivering vital earthquake responses in Afghanistan and continuing activities in the country and with refugees abroad.
Your support of the GlobalGiving Afghanistan Emergency Fund powers community-led responses, and it means that nonprofit organizations supporting Afghan communities can continue to act quickly in emergencies and provide opportunities over the long term for families. As the crisis in Afghanistan continues to evolve, most recently with the earthquakes and forced displacement of Afghans who were living in Pakistan, your support makes a difference. You can find a list of nonprofits receiving a grant from the Afghanistan Emergency Fund at the end of this report.
With gratitude,
Sarah + the GlobalGiving Team
