Afghanistan Emergency Fund

Since our last update, Afghanistan has faced several disasters, with an ongoing economic crisis, an earthquake in June that killed nearly 1,000 people in the southeastern part of the country, and a flood in neighboring Pakistan deepening the struggles of Afghan refugees there. Amid these crises, your donation to the GlobalGiving Afghanistan Emergency Fund is making a difference in supporting changemakers addressing the challenges of Afghans locally and globally. 

This quarter, grants from the Afghanistan Emergency Fund have supported 10 high-impact and community-led nonprofit organizations helping Afghans. 

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported: 

• Carry the Future and Tahirih Justice Center are supporting Afghans arriving in the US as they integrate into their new home and also maintain their connection to their families in Afghanistan.
• Relief International is providing Afghan refugees living in Pakistan with emergency relief to recover from the recent floods there and supporting education programs to prevent gaps in early childhood learning. 
• Japan Emergency NGO (JEN) and Afghanistan-Pakistan Women’s Economic Empowerment are delivering food packages and helping communities prepare for the difficult winter season ahead.

Here is what one grant recipient wanted you to know about the impact of your donation: 

“Thanks to the … gift from GlobalGiving, our Afghan Asylum Project remains committed to providing necessary services and assistance to Afghan refugees. We’re busy getting hundreds of cases filed, responding to requests for information, and advocating for refugee safety and stability in the US. This work is only possible because of you and the generous support of GlobalGiving.” – Archi Pyati, Tahirih Justice Center

And that is why we are endlessly grateful for you! Your support of the Afghanistan Emergency Fund powers community-led responses, and it means organizations like the Tahirih Justice Center get the critical resources they need to support Afghan refugees or assist their communities with critical aid.
