Afghanistan's children are enduring multiple crises. Ongoing conflict, extreme climate shocks, severe economic decline, and disease outbreaks are making life for children even harder.


At least 12.6 million children need humanitarian assistance as families suffer extreme poverty in Afghanistan with limited access to healthcare, education, food and safe, clean water.


Girls are enduring a systematic crisis as women’s rights in Afghanistan are not being recognised.

UNICEF has stood by the women and children of Afghanistan for more than 70 years throughout multiple crises, and as a humanitarian organisation, we will stay and deliver.

By setting up a fundraising page, you'll help UNICEF reach women and children, no matter what.

Afghanistan is one of the most difficult places in the world to be a child. UNICEF is on the ground supporting children and families. But we can't do this without you.
