As millions more in Afghanistan plunge into extreme financial distress due to mass unemployment and soaring prices, CARE is providing quick, flexible cash assistance as a lifeline to some of the most vulnerable. Afghanistan is in the grip of a catastrophic economic crisis that is forcing some to do the unimaginable, including selling their own children just to put food on the table. Economic measures imposed on Afghanistan are making it difficult for aid agencies to operate at full capacity and get help to those who need it the most. CARE has provided cash assistance to over 8,200 highly vulnerable households (more than 57,000 people) across nine provinces in Afghanistan since October 2021. Close to 4,000 households have received a one-off payment of $179, while over 4,200 households have received cash specifically for food, or through a cash-for-work program. Learn more
