Afghanistan Emergency Fund

Host Organization: GlobalGiving Washington, D.C., United States https://www.globalgiving.org

About

Across Afghanistan, a humanitarian crisis has deepened with thousands forced from their homes or denied basic rights under the Taliban's return to power. Families, communities, and livelihoods are threatened in a region already faced with natural hazards. Your donation will help people in Afghanistan and those displaced from the region.

Need

This humanitarian emergency is dangerous for all Afghans but women, children, activists, and journalists are particularly at risk. The Taliban's ban of women and girl's education and NGO work comes with severe consequences for lives and livelihoods and forces families to make life-threatening choices. Afghanistan also remains prone to natural hazards, such as earthquakes and extreme weather. Millions of Afghans remain in need of both emergency relief, as well as long-term support.

Long term impact

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support. By funding local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges. GlobalGiving will post reports about how funds have been used and will email these reports to donors.

About the Organization

Our mission is to build an efficient, open, thriving marketplace that connects people who have community and world-changing ideas with people who can support them.
