Emergency Relief Project for Orphaned Children
Donor: PVU
Project Summary
This project focuses on providing emergency relief to orphaned children in Afghanistan, specifically addressing their immediate needs for food and education. Orphans in Afghanistan have faced severe violations of their human rights, living in extremely poor conditions after losing their parents. Many of these children have not received adequate education or moral support. Our aim is to create a supportive environment to help heal the trauma caused by war, provide food assistance, and ensure they receive both general and moral education.
The project is a joint initiative between YVO and PVU, with PVU securing the necessary funding. YVO lead the implementation of the project on the ground, partnering with PVU to provide essential relief to orphaned children.
Orphans in Afghanistan often lack basic documentation such as birth certificates and have lost all ties to their extended family networks. The war in Afghanistan has resulted in widespread poverty, unemployment, and the displacement of families, leaving millions of children vulnerable.
