2022 Afghanistan Earthquake Relief Campaign

Emergency Earthquake Relief Needed for Afghanistan

On Wednesday, June 22nd, a devastating 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck the remote southeastern region of Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. Entire villages were flattened in a matter of seconds. Homes built from mud and stone—already weakened by poverty and decades of instability—crumbled into dust. At this time, over 1,000 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 1,600 have been injured, with thousands more displaced. The full scope of the damage continues to unfold.

This is one of the deadliest earthquakes to strike Afghanistan in the past two decades.

The affected regions—some of the most underserved and geographically isolated in the country—are struggling to cope with the immense scale of this tragedy. Medical facilities are overwhelmed. Clean water is scarce. Families are without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

“The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Right now, those most vulnerable are women and children, who suffer disproportionately during humanitarian crises like this one. Already burdened by years of conflict, hunger, and economic hardship, Afghan women and children now face life-threatening conditions in the aftermath of this earthquake.

Entire communities have been cut off from immediate aid due to the rough terrain and limited infrastructure. With your support, we can change that.

We need your help to provide emergency relief and long-term recovery support to the survivors of this disaster. Your donation can help us deliver:

• Emergency food packages and clean drinking water

• Temporary shelter and warm blankets

• Medical supplies and trauma care

• Sanitary kits and essential hygiene products for women and girls

• Psychological support for those affected by loss and trauma

Afghanistan’s complex political and humanitarian landscape makes international aid delivery difficult—but not impossible. That’s why it’s more critical than ever that we act swiftly and with compassion.

Your donation is more than just a gift—it’s a lifeline.
