What happens when a mother can’t reach a doctor—and her children are sick in her arms? In remote villages of Herat Province, Afghanistan, families are still struggling in the aftermath of the 2023 earthquakes. Homes were destroyed, roads cut off, and access to essential healthcare vanished. “Most people developed psychological problems after the earthquake. The children were very weak,” says Abdullah, a community elder. To reach those left behind, World Vision—supported by World Vision Korea and World Vision Taiwan—is operating mobile health and nutrition teams. These teams travel to earthquake-affected areas where no clinics exist, providing outpatient care, safe deliveries, immunisations, nutrition support, and psychosocial services. This is the reality on the ground. And this is how mobile teams are saving lives—one remote village at a time. Watch the full story from rural Herat.
