More than 40 years of conflict, instability, recurrent natural disasters, worsening food insecurity, and ensuing chronic poverty has left nearly half the population – an estimated 21.9 million people, including 11.6 million children – in need of humanitarian assistance. More than 10 million people remain displaced within the country or in neighboring countries. . Women and children continue to endure heightened protection risks.. 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!
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.
