A Country Prone to Seismic Activity

Known to be situated in one of Central Asia’s seismic activity zones, Afghanistan has a history of catastrophic earthquakes. We were on the ground providing emergency relief in 2022 and in 2023, along with our ongoing programs of Orphan Care, Seasonal Islamic Giving, Food Security, Education, and other long-term rebuilding projects.  

The people of Afghanistan urgently need your continued support as they face the compounded challenges of climate change, recurring natural disasters, and widespread food insecurity.
