Support Afghanistan – Every Second Counts Overview Afghanistan has been rocked by a catastrophic 6.0-magnitude earthquake in the provinces of Kunar and Nuristan, resulting in over 1,000 fatalities and more than 2,500 injuries. Homes, clinics, and entire communities have been destroyed. In a region already grappling with deep poverty, political instability, and scarce resources, this disaster has pushed families, especially women, children, and the elderly, to the brink of despair.
The Crisis The humanitarian landscape in Afghanistan has grown increasingly urgent. With over 1,000 lives lost, thousands injured, and critical infrastructure demolished, immediate aid is not just vital—it’s lifesaving. Survivors urgently require shelter, medical care, clean water, and hygiene support to survive this devastating blow.
Penny Appeal USA’s Immediate Response Penny Appeal USA has swiftly mobilized with trusted local partners to deliver essential relief: ● Emergency medical teams & mobile health units to rapidly treat the injured and manage trauma care in affected zones. ● Lifesaving medicines, trauma kits, & supplies to administer urgent medical support where it’s needed most. ● Shelter, clean water, & hygiene support including safe water, emergency shelters, and hygiene kits to curb disease and restore dignity. ● Maternal & child health services, specifically tailored to protect mothers, newborns, and children during this fragile period. ● Rehabilitation of damaged health facilities to ensure medical services can continue uninterrupted in the aftermath.
How the Emergency Response Works Time is of the essence in emergencies. To expedite aid, Penny Appeal USA often pre-commits funds, allowing rapid deployment even before donor contributions arrive. If donor funding exceeds the initial pledge, surplus funds go into a General Emergency Response Fund to support future crises or enable a second phase of the campaign if the need remains critical.
Transparency is paramount: donors can always inquire about how their contributions are used. Shortfalls are met from the general fund to ensure no delay in assistance.
Why Your Support Matters This is a moment where every contribution can save lives. Providing: ● Immediate medical care and trauma support restores hope and prevents further loss. ● Shelter and hygiene essentials shield families from disease and exposure. ● Clean water and maternal care protect the most vulnerable—mothers and children—from preventable harm. ● Restored clinics ensure communities retain access to healthcare beyond this crisis.
Your support is not just aid—it’s a lifeline. Stand with Afghanistan today. Your generosity delivers immediate relief and critical care when every second counts. Donate Now to Support Afghanistan
