Japan Donates $2.5 Million to Support Vulnerable Children in Afghanistan

UNICEF has announced that Japan’s government has donated $2.5 million in aid to support vulnerable Afghan children in response to natural disasters.

This funding will assist in providing essential services to vulnerable children affected by ongoing crises.

This funding, as stated in a UNICEF press release on Monday, March 17, will focus on helping those affected by emergencies, especially children, who are among the most vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.

UNICEF emphasized that millions of Afghans, particularly children, lack access to clean drinking water, which has contributed to widespread outbreaks of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea.

The aid will also enhance public awareness programs aimed at preventing diseases, improving access to healthcare, and supporting educational efforts around health and hygiene in Afghanistan.

Furthermore, the project will focus on providing services to at-risk children and women, especially those vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, addressing critical needs within the community.
