Earthquakes, droughts, floods and wars have all exacerbated the plight of the Afghan population, with complete swathes of the population pushed into poverty over the past few years. Now Afghanistan has over 6 million people internally displaced and over 70% living in extreme poverty. Afghanistan needs our urgent assistance. With your help, our Afghanistan emergency appeal can provide a lifeline to those facing a winter of uncertainty and hardship.

Children in Afghanistan need urgent assistance. With over 18 million children in Afghanistan, the situation is dire. The under-five mortality rate stands close to 60 deaths per 1,000 live births. Children in Afghanistan lack both education and health, with exposure to violence and instability leading to high levels of psychological distress in children. Your donation for Afghanistan will help children both with their nutritional and educational needs. 

Returning refugees is also an important area of focus for United Muslims, with over 6 million refugees having returned to Afghanistan in recent years, with an expectation that millions more will return over the coming years. These refugees face a lack of basic services, economic hardship and security concerns along with the psychological and emotional impact  of returning home. Donate to Afghanistan’s refugees with United Muslims.

AFGHANISTAN EMERGENCY APPEAL

Entering its fifth decade, the crisis in Afghanistan stands as the most prolonged in the region

Afghanistan is currently navigating through an intricate web of challenges, encompassing prolonged conflict, deep-seated poverty, lack of basic services, housing disputes, lack of infrastructure, food insecurity, climate-induced adversities, and significant obstacles to the advancement and participation of women in public life.

With a lack of employment opportunities for its 42 million adults, the economic fragility of Afghanistan is exacerbated, with the Afghan economy significantly contracting in the last few years. In 2023 unemployment stood at over 14% with over 30% of young people unable to find work. This makes a large portion of the Afghan population reliant on humanitarian aid for survival.

In the backdrop of the international forces’ withdrawal, Afghanistan’s plight continues to be influenced by geopolitical and regional dynamics. Notably, 2023 has seen the return of 1.9 million Afghans, including over 471,000 from Pakistan since mid-September. 

Restrictive policies continue to obstruct women’s access to essential assistance and services, adversely affecting engagement with the international community and potential donor contributions

Afghanistan has experienced long-term conflict and natural disasters, causing many people to be displaced. At United Muslims, we provide food and clean drinking water to those in need. We also support education and work to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for Afghan communities.

“If anyone relieves a Muslim believer from one of the hardships of this worldly life, Allah will relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. If anyone makes it easy for the one who is indebted to him (while finding it difficult to repay), Allah will make it easy for him in this worldly life and in the Hereafter, and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps His slave as long as he helps his brother.” Muslim: 2699

Support Afghanistan: Help Needed for the Displaced and Returning Citizens 

An Afghan father said, “We survived the earthquake, but now we face the battle of living without a home, food, or water. Our children are cold and hungry. We need help.” At this critical moment, United Muslims appeals for your generous donations to our Afghanistan Emergency Appeal. Your support is crucial in providing a lifeline to those facing a winter of uncertainty and hardship. Please donate now to help us continue our lifesaving work and stand with Afghanistan in its hour of need.
