UNICEF has been in Afghanistan for over 65 years, helping to ensure children are healthy, educated and safe from harm.
Set within a striking landscape of dry desert and mountainous terrain, Afghanistan is an intriguing nation that dates back to 7,000 B.C. Rich in culture and tradition, the country’s tumultuous past is both complex and enduring. Today, Afghanistan continues to face many challenges, including ongoing conflict, drought and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the past decade, Afghanistan had made huge strides in children’s health and education, but as the political environment shifts, the situation changes daily with many children facing an uncertain future.
Thanks to our generous donors we’re ramping up relief work and bolstering our long-term development programs which focus on keeping mums and their babies healthy, provide access to clean and safe water, protect children from harm and deliver quality education. We are also there when emergencies strike, so that Afghanistan’s children and young people receive lifesaving support when they need it the most.
