As we wrap up this project on GlobalGiving, we wanted to take a moment to give a huge thanks to you for your generous contribution to our humanitarian work in response to the earthquake in the Paktika region of Afghanistan.
The Paktika region is a rural area and has several villages with a few hundred households. More than 75% of the houses were damaged in the earthquake in June of 2022. At the time of our initial assessment, there were 195 deaths and 486 injuries.
Although the communication network and road access were big challenges to providing support, ActionAid was able to successfully distribute food kits and multi-purpose cash transfers to the households that were worst affected by the earthquake.
ActionAid prides ourselves on our human-rights based approach to humanitarian work. This approach allows us to develop long-term working relationships with local partners who have been working in some of the most remote and underserved areas in the world. Through these relationships, we learn about long term and short term solutions that would work to eradicate poverty and inequality in all sorts of political, cultural, and economic contexts. We provide support to develop and implement these solutions as well as work towards shifting power towards communities by conducting research and advocating for policy that will hold governments accountable to delivering basic human rights to every person.
This work would not be possible without partners like you: caring individuals who are willing to give what they can.
Thank you so much for your generosity and support. We invite you to stay updated with our ongoing humanitarian work by signing up for our newsletter at www.actionaid.org.
