A powerful earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan in August 2025, destroying thousands of homes and leaving countless families in desperate need of clean water, food, and medical care.
Our response focuses on addressing the most urgent needs—clean water, hygiene, and health awareness—while ensuring that interventions are equitable, inclusive, and sustainable. By combining emergency repair and supplies distribution, we aim to reduce the spread of disease and help families begin to recover and rebuild their lives.
Five critical water sources, including springs, boreholes, and hand-dug wells, are being repaired and rehabilitated to restore access to safe drinking water for affected communities. Liquid chlorine is also being distributed to families for household water treatment, ensuring water remains safe for daily use.
To address immediate hygiene needs, family hygiene kits are being distributed. Kits include essential items such as soap, towels, and feminine hygiene products, helping restore dignity and basic hygiene in affected households.
