The people in Afghanistan need our help now!

In Afghanistan, families are fleeing chaos and violence. The Taliban has largely taken control of the country. The initial consequences for the civilian population are dramatic:

Hundreds of thousands have become internally displaced – in addition to the more than 3 million people who have already sought refuge in their own country (according to the UNHCR).
18.4 million Afghans are in urgent need of help right now (according to the UN).
One in three people in the country is already at risk of severe hunger (according to the WFP).
Added to this is the already fragile situation, which is particularly affecting women and children, who already made up 80% of those fleeing Afghanistan at the end of May (according to the UN).

We are a non-governmental organization that has been running educational projects in Afghanistan for 15 years and has been supporting internally displaced people in Afghan refugee camps for years. We have already successfully built and expanded 11 schools and reached more than 35,000 internally displaced persons through our emergency aid. We have also been able to build up an extensive network of local partners who are now more dependent on our support than ever.

What are donations needed for?

Despite the difficult times, we have decided to continue our work and not to withdraw from Afghanistan. We will continue to be a reliable partner for local people.

Emergency aid

The increasing number of internally displaced persons lack everything they need locally. They are homeless and destitute. Our colleagues in Kabul are in the process of providing people with the essentials. Initial emergency aid has already been implemented in Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif. In addition, inventories and plans for further emergency aid are carried out in order to identify and meet needs.

Please understand that the dynamic political situation is currently a major challenge for our work and that we do not want to expose any of our colleagues or people in need to a dangerous situation. For safety reasons, we will report on emergency aid measures implemented with a time delay and without much detail.

Educational projects

Of course, we also want to continue our educational projects as best we can. Particularly in view of the discontinuation of German state development cooperation, we are still dependent on donations in addition to emergency aid in order to secure our school projects with our own financial resources. Not only our colleagues, but hundreds of construction site workers and their families depend on their wages.

It is our responsibility to act and support these people as best we can!

SIGN OUR PETITION!

After the Taliban took power, the German government froze funding for development cooperation and ended the evacuation from Afghanistan. However, it is estimated that 18.4 million Afghans – almost half of the population – are in humanitarian need, especially now. NGOs in Afghanistan must continue to be supported in order to be able to continue their work on the ground. Sign our petition now and help us put pressure on the government!
