Hagar International: Nurturing Vulnerable Children in Afghanistan

In Afghanistan, the sudden change of government, the Taliban’s rise to power, combined with the lack of support from the international community are detrimental to Afghans. This leads to a multitude of problems, such as unemployment, lack of reliable access to food or basic medical care for their families.

 

Worse still, the new Taliban government is currently not able and willing to address these pressing needs. With government schools closed since August 2021, children are often deprived of education, with some not attending school and displaced since birth.

 

It is evident that there is a pressing need to address the issue of vulnerable children in Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps in Kabul to prevent the risk of human trafficking, neglect and abuse. In order to improve the living conditions to make learning and recreation conducive, Hagar International has the solution for this.
