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, more than three years on from the Taliban takeover, for many millions of families, the humanitarian emergency shows little sign of abating. We are raising funds to deliver vital emergency relief and wider development support to families in some of the most remote, underserved areas of the country.
Economic collapse, brought about by reduced development assistance and the imposition of financial sanctions following the Taliban takeover has made life unimaginably challenging for men, women and children across Afghanistan. Over the past few years, extreme drought, mounting debt, rising unemployment and this unfolding economic crisis has resulted in acute levels of food insecurity, with 14.8 million people currently not eating enough food.
The incredible resilience that communities across Afghanistan have shown over the past few years is now stretched to breaking point. We are continuing to provide emergency assistance to those most in need, whilst delivering longer term support creating sustainable livelihoods, building basic services and helping communities adapt to the changing climate, so that they can change their lives and communities for good.
Helping families grow food, find safe shelter, and stay clean and healthy is crucial first step in helping them rebuild their lives after losing their homes and livelihoods, and therefore be able to contribute to the wider development of their communities. Alongside our emergency relief work, our long-term development projects and community-led approach means your donation will invest in change that lasts.
