Helping Feed Afghanistan’s Most Vulnerable People

Read the transcript or download the video.

Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world. Millions of Afghans struggle to meet their most basic needs, and they are severely affected by chronic food shortages.

Many Afghans still rely on traditional livelihoods, such as farming, to feed their families. Their efforts are hampered by the country’s crumbling infrastructure and frequent droughts.

Rising food prices also make it difficult to buy enough food to feed a family.
