AFGHANISTAN EMERGENCY
Families are fleeing their homes in the middle of the night as winter sets in. Children need your help now.
A Second Deadly Earthquake Strikes Afghanistan
A 6.5 magnitude earthquake has struck Afghanistan – the second in less than two months – forcing families to flee their homes in the middle of the night as winter sets in. The situation is desperate.
For too long, children in Afghanistan have been paying the price for a crisis they did not create. Years of conflict, economic collapse, and natural disasters have left millions of children without enough food, shelter, or access to essential services.

A Humanitarian Catastrophe
Ongoing Crisis
Afghanistan faces multiple overlapping crises – conflict, economic collapse, climate disasters, and now another devastating earthquake. Families have been left with nothing and need immediate assistance to survive the harsh winter.
Children Are Most Affected
Millions of children are out of school, malnourished, and at risk of exploitation. With hospitals overwhelmed and basic services collapsed, children have nowhere to turn.
Families Displaced
Families are being forced to flee their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. As temperatures drop below freezing, they face the deadly combination of homelessness and hunger.

Food Assistance
We provide emergency food supplies and cash assistance to help families buy food and meet their basic needs.
Child Protection
We work to protect children from exploitation and abuse, providing psychosocial support to help them recover from trauma.
"When the earthquake struck, we ran into the darkness with our children. We have nothing left – no home, no food, nothing."
– Rahmatullah, a father in Herat Province
