Afghanistan Emergency Response Fund
Afghanistan is one of the most dangerous places to be a child.
Afghan children and families are experiencing increasingly deteriorating living conditions since the Taliban seized power in August 2021. Decades of conflict have left the country on the brink of collapse and children are the ones paying the highest price.
Multiple challenges including prolonged conflict, chronic poverty, flash floods, drought, a gender crisis and economic hardships have collided to create one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world today. Approximately 22.9 million people, including 12.4 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
UNICEF is in Afghanistan working tirelessly to provide life-saving support to children and families affected by this crisis. But we can’t do it alone.
Your donation to the Afghanistan Emergency Fund will help rush urgent humanitarian aid to children and families, including:
- Emergency shelter supplies, blankets and warm clothes
- Treatment for severe acute malnutrition
- Vaccination against measles
- Safe water and sanitation supplies
- Learning for out-of-school children
