Maryam sat in the rain with her children, everything they owned soaked through.

No tent.
No shelter.
No way to keep warm.

"Five members of my family were killed," she said. "We have nothing to eat. My children are sitting with me and we have nothing."

When a massive earthquake struck Afghanistan's Kunar province in August, it killed over 2,200 people and left thousands of families with nowhere to turn.

After losing three children in Kunar's earthquake, Tahira, 29, and her surviving daughter received emergency care from UNFPA.

“May God bless these doctors. They healed our wounds and gave us relief. Without them, we might not have survived,” Tahira shared.

Now, as winter closes in, survivors like Maryam, Tahira, and her daughter face a new crisis — one that threatens to turn tragedy into catastrophe.

Women and girls in Afghanistan are struggling after a devastating earthquake. With temperatures dropping, freezing temperatures now threaten their health and their lives.
Will you rush a gift to deliver lifesaving care to women and girls in Afghanistan and wherever help is needed most? Your gift will be doubled to make 2X the impact this giving season. [[link removed]?]
RUSH A LIFESAVING GIFT [[link removed]?]



Among the more than 500,000 people affected by the earthquake, there are approximately 11,600 pregnant women that have no access to sanitary facilities or healthcare. In Afghanistan, which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the Asia-Pacific region, pregnancy is already life-threatening. Add winter's harsh cold, and the danger multiplies.

In moments like these, your support is vital. While others look away, you see Maryam and her children and Tahira and her daughter. You see the pregnant women giving birth without shelter. You see the families who refuse to give up, even when they've lost everything.

When you donate today, you deliver:

* Lifesaving medical care for pregnant women’s safe births
* Nutritional supplements to keep expectant mothers and newborns healthy
* Menstrual health supplies, soap, and disinfectant for women and girls
* Emergency healthcare via mobile clinics reaching the most remote areas

These aren’t just supplies. They’re lifelines. And they come from you — from your compassion and your decision to act.
