Biggest Humanitarian Crises

Afghanistan’s refugee crisis is one of the biggest humanitarian crises our world has faced. More than four decades of conflict, instability, and ensuing chronic poverty has left an estimated 24 million people in dire need of humanitarian assistance and driven more than 5 million people out of their homes. Women and children are the most affected, making up 80% of newly displaced Afghans. The fundamental rights of women and young girls are under threat and more and more young girls are out of school each day. That’s why, thanks to your support, IRUSA works to provide access to basic needs, like education, to vulnerable families like Hela’s. Take a look at this success story!

Stories From The Ground

Hela’s Story

Hela lives in Kandahar with her parents and eight siblings. Her father is self-employed as a driver and her mother tends to the home throughout the day. Her father always wished for his children to go to school, but poverty and lack of access to education made things difficult. All the children knew was war. Thanks to support from donors like you, Hela was able to enroll in her local school. Every day, she wakes up excited to attend her classes. She has a new hope for her future.
