Recent funding cuts impacting UNFPA's mission have created a domino effect, threatening the very core of maternal and newborn healthcare in some of the world's most vulnerable regions.

Every day, women, girls, newborns, and families rely on UNFPA-supported health services to ensure safe childbirth, access to essential healthcare, and opportunities to fulfill their potential. However, our capacity to maintain these life-affirming services is severely compromised.

In Afghanistan, women and girls’ access to healthcare is already severely restricted under the Taliban. When conflict or tragic earthquakes arise, poverty and distance create compounding health risks for families. 

Many are left with no choice but to suffer through their pain or even give birth at home without professional assistance. 

37-year-old Marhoma had delivered all seven of her daughters at home. For the first time, she safely delivered in a UNFPA-supported health facility.

Your generosity today can help change that. A contribution today will be a lifeline that directly impacts the women, girls, and infants who depend on UNFPA’s crucial services for survival and hope.

You can empower midwives to provide skilled care that ensures safe deliveries, and supply necessary tools and resources to maintain the health and dignity of women and girls in dire situations. Most importantly, your compassion can transform despair into hope in communities that need it most.

We’re on the ground providing lifesaving support in Afghanistan, but we need your help to scale up our efforts. Donate to deliver hope, health, and dignity to women and girls in need:

Thank you for your support and for standing with us in this critical time.
