With a proud, strong, and loving culture, Afghan people show kindness and generosity despite their desperate living conditions, and constant uncertainty.

FAQs

World Vision is extremely concerned for children in Afghanistan. Young and adolescent girls and boys experience conflict and instability, displacement and multidimensional poverty distinctly and disproportionately. The recent conflict has impacted children greatly, compounding the child protection risks associated with the ongoing drought, internal displacement, COVID-19, and food and water insecurity.

World Vision is working alongside our partners to ensure children are protected and spared the consequences of conflict and instability.
