Three magnitude 6.3 earthquakes and powerful aftershocks are impacting families and communities in western Afghanistan. Mercy Corps has worked in Afghanistan since 1986.

The true scale of the devastation is not yet known, but already our teams are working with local partners whose knowledge, experience, and connection to their community allows them to evaluate where needs are most pressing. Mercy Corps is committed to respond in the weeks and months to come, helping communities in Afghanistan to rebuild and recover.

Mercy Corps teams are already on the ground where help is most needed. We work in more than 40 countries alongside communities as they prepare for, protect against, and recover from crisis. Your gift today will go where it is needed most.
