Dawlatyar district, where World Vision operates, was among the hardest-hit areas by floods in Ghor last year. The lack of access to safe drinking water heavily impacted children like 14-year-old Majid. World Vision, in partnership with communities and leaders in Ghor, prioritised the restoration of the village’s water supply system. The rehabilitation provided access to clean water for 100 families, profoundly transforming their lives.

World Vision Afghanistan restored six water supply networks, damaged by the October 2023 earthquakes, in Herat. Over 2,180 individuals across six communities have gained access to clean drinking water. Travel with us and see how the networks helped children in those communities.

Saved by water’s miracles

A story about how Nokukhanya's life was transformed by a World Vision supported water project.

As the sun set behind the hills of Maseyisini, 17-year-old Nokukhanya would hurry home from school, aware that darkness was approaching. Her daily routine left her drained—a burden no young girl should have to bear. After school ended at 5:00pm, she would drop her bag at home, change clothes, grab empty buckets, and head to the river to fetch water.

Investing over USD192 million annually, World Vision has reached 28.7 million people in recent years to access cleaner water, 20.9 million to access improved sanitation, and 34.7 million to adopt safer hygiene practices.
