"Our whole house was destroyed by the flood. I asked my father to build our next house on the highest peak of the mountain so that if the flood comes again, our house will not be destroyed," said 11-year-old Nergiz, recounting her experience after the devastating floods in Ghor.

Another testament of the importance of support businesses and job creation for returnees and their communities. This support is critical to minimize the need of unwanted or irregular migration. We thank EUinAfghanistan and Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan for sharing this vision and support this work!

Hamida is a mother of nine, a survivor of the Herat Earthquakes, and the sole breadwinner of her family. Above all, she is an inspiration. After experiencing tragedy, she is now back on her feet after securing a job at a jam-making business.

At #SOMAfghanistan in Brussels, humanitarian, development and diplomatic actors are joining forces. The cost of inaction in Afghanistan would be a full-scale humanitarian crisis exacerbating instability &migration. We aim to ensure that our aid reaches those in need.

Yesterday in Brussels with Alison Davidian, I was again inspired by our photo exhibition with UN Women highlighting the strength and resilience of Afghan women and girls. We cannot abandon them; they must be able to fully and meaningfully participate in all aspects of Afghan life.

At the #SOMAfghanistan I had the opportunity to speak about the plight of vulnerable migrants, call for their protection, investment on solutions and promotion of regular pathways for migrants. I was glad to hear the collective commitment to continue to support Afghan people!
