A projected 24.4 million people in Afghanistan are in need of humanitarian aid in 2022. A staggering 23 million people, or 55 per cent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity.

Afghans make up one of the largest refugee populations worldwide and another 3.5 million people are internally displaced.

Currently, over 550,000 people are internally displaced in Afghanistan. 78.8% of those internally displaced are women and children. Since the start of 2021, about 5000 Afghans have been killed or wounded by both international and militant forces.

Afghans make up one of the largest refugee populations worldwide and another 3.5 million people are internally displaced. 

With the Taliban expansively gaining control, certain groups including women, children, seniors, people with disabilities, ethnic minorities, and religious minorities face a very deadly risk. 

Afghans need tangible aid. The Zahra(s) Trust Canada is assisted by a team of humanitarian workers on the grounds in Afghanistan. 

The Zahra(s) Trust Canada works to provide aid in Afghanistan through multiple means:

Emergency relief

In response to recent horrific attacks against marginalised groups in Afghanistan, The Zahra(s) Trust Canada works to provide emergency relief where it is needed greatest.

Winter Aid

Temperatures reach as low as –25 degrees celsius; thus, there is an urgent need for financial support specifically for families to cope with the harsh winter months. The Zahra(s) Trust Canada’s team on the ground identifies families in dire living conditions and provides them with heaters, coal and wood as a form of heating supplies.

Food & Water Aid

The Zahra(s) Trust Canada food and water programs work to provide aid in Kabul, Harat, Harat and Mazar i Sharif.
