Afghanistan
Power dynamics in Afghanistan are changing at a terrifying speed, and food scarcity and forced displacement are soaring. World Vision warns that children will pay the price as they face a greater risk of violence, abuse and exploitation.
Western Afghanistan recently experienced a series of deadly earthquakes leaving thousands of fatalities and severely injured. World Vision Afghanistan staff were immediately in communities to assess the needs and numbers affected, which quickly showed the loss of life to be disproportionately children and women. World Vision is implementing the multi-phased Herat Earthquake Response which is expected to last six months. Learn more about the disaster, recovery, and ways you can help.

As an International Partnership, World Vision Canada is still operational in Afghanistan and working to meet the needs of children and their families. We have worked in Afghanistan but, as a result of a change in Afghanistan’s government, at this time, no Canadian raised funds (either from private donations or from government) can be programmed there due to Canadian Criminal Code restrictions. As concerned Canadians, you can call your federal Member of Parliament and express your concern and frustration that legal barriers make it impossible for Canadian charities, like World Vision Canada, to support work in Afghanistan. Raise your concerns about the significant level of needs and the urgency to remove these barriers so that life-saving work can resume.
When you give where most needed, you’ll help provide things like healthcare, safety, food, clean water and more to vulnerable children and families around the world. It’s a powerful way to help fight poverty and hunger, and give hope to those in need.
