In central #Afghanistan, community members helped build #water points that bring water closer to families, reducing the time and effort children spend collecting it. Funding ends in #November. Donor support can sustain this progress and extend the solution to more communities.
One year after the #earthquake, many children and families in #eastern #Afghanistan are still rebuilding their lives. "Communities have not recovered," says Hamidullah Momin, who leads Save the Children's #emergency response in eastern Afghanistan. savethechildren.net/stories/…
Behind every child reached is someone who chose to show up.
This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we recognise those who continue to stand alongside children and families across Afghanistan.
Their work today helps build the future every child deserves.
