Give food and comfort for £25

Just £25 could provide someone who's lost their home with a pillow, mattress, blanket and two meals for three days.
A devastating earthquake has hit Afghanistan.
On Sunday 31 August, an earthquake of over 6 on the Richter scale struck Nangarhar in eastern Afghanistan.
Families have lost their homes. Communities have been badly damaged. And the worst affected areas are the hardest to reach.
It’s been estimated that over 1,400 people have died and over 3000 people have been injured. Both these numbers will increase.
We haven’t historically worked in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan. But our teams are assessing the situation right now and deciding how we can respond.
Your donation now could help get life-saving aid to families impacted by the earthquake in Afghanistan.

Action Against Hunger has been working in Afghanistan since 1995, supporting communities through climate-related disasters, conflict and economic crises.
In 2023, our teams in Afghanistan:
Just £25 could provide someone who's lost their home with a pillow, mattress, blanket and two meals for three days.
Just £47 could provide a fresh food basket that keeps a family of six nourished for two weeks during an emergency.
Just £103 could provide two tanks of clean water for families in need. One tank can hold up to 5,000 litres.
Last year, 23.7 million people in Afghanistan were predicted to need life-saving assistance.
Over 1400 people have died due to the severity of the earthquake. This number is expected to rise.
3000 people have been estimated to have been injured by the earthquake.
Your donation to our Afghanistan Appeal will help protect vulnerable communities we’re supporting in Afghanistan.
Any funds raised over and above the needs of our Afghanistan Appeal will go to our life-saving work and used where the need is greatest. Out of every £1 raised, we spend 94p on charitable activities and services and 6p on fundraising and support costs.
