How is Afghanaid responding to the crisis in Afghanistan?

Over the past year, we've been responding with emergency assistance where needed and helping communities get through this difficult time. Communities are now battling the effects of economic collapse, rising cost of food and a continuing drought, and the country is facing extreme food shortages. Families headed by women are hardest hit, with almost 100% of these families not eating enough food on a daily basis. Right now we are raising funds to support Afghan women to feed their families, earn an income and rebuild their lives.

Our impact since August 2021

1,200,900		Men, women and children supported with emergency humanitarian assistance
115,595		Emergency food packages distributed to families who otherwise would not have been able to find food
3,583		Heating, cooking, and hygiene kits distributed to families in emergency situations

Change starts with her. Change starts with you. Change starts By Her Side.

Thanks to her small business selling products she makes, Arzo’s family has been able to weather the storm of the past year, but thousands of other women just like her are still struggling. Hear from Arzo and find out how you can support more women like her through our By Her Side appeal here.
