Purpose
March 2018 - In Afghanistan, the United Nations estimates that 3.3 million people are in acute need of life-saving humanitarian assistance due to conflict, natural disasters, and cross-border returns from Iran and Pakistan. On average, 1,100 people each day – two thirds of them women and children – were forcibly displaced by violence in 2017. Malnutrition and food insecurity levels are high and health partners report a 21% increase in trauma cases since 2016. Increasing conflict and casualty numbers are compounding protection needs and access constraints across the country. With GAC’s support, CARE Canada is addressing urgent humanitarian needs of up to 30,800 vulnerable people (4,400 households) in seven provinces in Afghanistan. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency shelter and non-food items to disaster and conflict-affected households; (2) providing hygiene awareness sessions and distributing hygiene kits; (3) providing cash-for-work activities and unconditional funding grants; and (4) providing life-saving sexual and reproductive health services in conflict-affected communities.
