Support Afghan refugees in Iran - update

By Joe Samuel | Individual Giving Manager

Iran shares a 1,000 kilometer border with neighboring Afghanistan, and for the last 40 years Iran has hosted one of the world’s largest populations of refugees. Some 3 million Afghan refugees fleeing war and chronic poverty in their country have migrated to Iran.

Over several years, our primary focus has been to support the population of nearly 3 million Afghans through comprehensive case management, and by providing healthcare, education, vocational training, and small business development services.

Here are just some examples of what we've achieved together:

In 2024 so far, we enabled 1,000 children and youth to access education programs.
In 2023, we provided remedial classes for 1,570 Afghan and Iranian students across six provinces
In 2023, we distributed 1,570 school stationery kits to students
In 2023, we constructed 10 new learning spaces in five schools in Khorasan Razavi and Sistan & Baluchistan.
In 2023, we provided school cleaning and disinfecting kits to 26 Ministry of Education schools

It was only with the support of donors like you that we were able to have this impact.

Thank you again for your generosity.
