• Disaster and environmental Emergency support

Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides exacerbate the situation for all children. And insecurity and uncertainty continue to fuel a wave of internal displacement as people seek safety for themselves and their families. And on the other hand, Disasters and environmental effects are other big concern people are facing in some of the remote areas in Afghanistan, extreme rainfall causes widespread flooding, and many villages across the country are affected every year.  At the same time, heavy snow during the winter also causes a lot of damage such as the recent flood in Nangarhar, Kabul, and warding provinces affecting many people, and due to lack of many facilities, some kids and families members have died.

SAW is working along with local and international partners to evacuate and help people.

Current needs identified by our local partners include:

• Medium and longer term’s recovery work such as livelihood recovery, rehabilitation of damaged houses and public facilities, psychosocial support to floods-affected communities
• Tarpaulins/emergency shelters for displaced residents
• Ongoing disaster preparedness work
• Clean drinking water
• Ration kits for families consist of rice, oil, salt, soybeans, etc.
• Clean drinking water
• Hygiene and sanitation kits

The Need

SAW plans and works on a short and long-term fundamental solution, which helps people to save their lives and houses during the disaster/environmental effects

SAW is looking for financial support from donors and People donations to start working on basic solutions such as emergency shelter, livelihood recovery, basic health and education center, and ration kits.

What has SAW been doing?

With the help of the international community’s support, we have reached many families with emergency assistance. That included life-saving and food packages and emergency cash; emergency shelter and heating equipment; cooking equipment and hygiene kits; supplies such as seeds, fertilizers, and animal feed; and nutritious supplements for malnourished babies and children.

Emergency assistance, including food aid, long term improvement to people’s lives, will come from access to an income they earn for themselves and the skills needed to achieve this.
