After several decades of conflict, natural disasters, chronic poverty, drought, and the COVID-19 pandemic, humanitarian needs have increased exponentially in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban took control, the country plunged into a deep economic and humanitarian crisis, with more than half of the population facing a food crisis.
Action Against Hunger takes a holistic approach to treating and preventing malnutrition and other health challenges facing young children, pregnant women, and new mothers. In recent years, we have scaled up our work to reach even more people in need as a result of conflicts and natural disasters.

"We do not have enough food...Pregnant women here face the risk of death, and they face many other risks. They do a lot of work, and they have no choice because there is no one else to work. In the future, I hope my children grow up, study, and help people."”

We support people displaced from their homes by drought, earthquakes, or conflict with cash transfers, helping them to buy what they need to survive.
