Dear HAGAR supporters,
You would have seen in recent days the unfolding situation in Afghanistan. The United Nations currently estimates that approximately 550,780 people across the country are displaced and without shelter, food and water.
HAGAR believes in doing “whatever it takes, for as long as it takes,” and as a result we have had a long history successfully working to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable in Afghanistan. Given our important humanitarian agenda, we have assurances that our significant life-changing work will continue and we are committed to serving the people in Afghanistan.
Working with other NGOs when possible, the Hagar Afghanistan team will be focusing on providing 4 relief activities in our response plan:
- Provide primary healthcare to displaced persons: This includes creating and running a mobile medical clinic (to be led by HAGAR’s in-house doctor);
- Establish emergency shelters for displaced persons: Targeting homeless girls and young women as they are most at risk in this current vulnerable environment;
- Set up safe spaces for displaced young children: This will be done through creating classrooms within the shelters for displaced persons where girls can continue to learn, play and feel safe;
- Provide food aid and basic essentials to desperate families and existing clients: The unfolding situation has made some of our clients even more vulnerable, especially those who live in abject poverty.
Each of these activities will provide practical and essential help to those currently in desperate situations.
Due to the extraordinary nature of this unexpected situation in Afghanistan, none of these activities were budgeted for this year and so, we are calling for your support! At this point, work on food distribution and healthcare delivery to displaced persons has already started; our rapid assessment shows we need $500,000 USD to implement all 4 of these activities in the coming months.
A donation from you today will help make sure these activities can be implemented and will be directed to where it is most needed when it is received. Please join our response today.
We are grateful for your compassion for those we work with. Stay tuned to this page as we will be providing regular updates on developments on the ground, and the progress with these relief activities.
