"I always read in WFP’s biography that it saves lives. In this program we really experience it." Hawa Gul is one of thousands of women in #Afghanistan who received WFP-supported training last year, helping them learn new skills and stand on their own feet. #IWD2024

In May, WFP reached nearly 750,000 girls and boys in schools across #Afghanistan with nutritious daily snacks that help them stay active and learn better. Thank you to our generous partners like EUinAfghanistan 🇪🇺who make this happen! #WorldNutritionDay

The #EU🇪🇺 is allocating an additional EUR 10 million to World Food Programme for school feeding activities in #Afghanistan, enabling WFP in Afghanistan to reach nearly 2 millions school children in over 10,000 schools across the country to help them learn better. More ➡️ shorturl.at/1Sf2f

For the community living in Kunar, #Afghanistan, this irrigation canal changed everything. What once was arid land is now lush, producing 3.5 tons of food for each family every year and protecting villages from flash floods. #FoodSystems

From droughts to floods, the #ClimateCrisis is devastating for communities in #Afghanistan. Here are 3 ways WFP helps them adapt:

Watch how these women in #Afghanistan help 700,000 girls & boys get fortified biscuits at school every morning, helping them stay active & learn better.✨

In Kabul #Afghanistan I saw with my own eyes the immense humanitarian needs. The EU 🇪🇺 stands by the resilient Afghan people. We have put into effect a robust humanitarian programme, and we are present on the ground. EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 EUinAfghanistan 🇪🇺

In #Afghanistan, food insecurity is one of the toughest challenges. I visited the WFP-run distribution centre in Alokhil in the outskirts of Kabul. The EU 🇪🇺 is putting forward €24 million this year to support World Food Programme actions in this crucial area. EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 EUinAfghanistan

We were pleased to host EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 director Andreas Papaconstantinou in one of our cash assistance distribution sites in #Afghanistan. This support is crucial for families to meet their essential needs. Thank you, ECHO, for your continued partnership and commitment to Afghan communities.

Providing livelihood opportunities for women in #Afghanistan goes beyond earning a living and feeding their children. Our country director Hsiao-Wei Lee explains why:

The UK remains committed to supporting the people of Afghanistan. This funding to the World Food Programme will help more than one million people with vital emergency food and nutrition assistance, as well as helping build the resilience of vulnerable communities.

We are alarmed by #Afghanistan ranking globally number four with people experiencing severe acute food insecurity. The EU🇪🇺allocated EUR 44 M to our humanitarian partners on food and nutrition projects, including EUR 25 M World Food Programme. EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺

Four years ago, these communities in #Afghanistan depended on WFP food assistance to survive. Today, thanks to water canals, they are thriving on their own.

Imagine a football field. Now imagine 50,000 of them. That is how much land is now being irrigated by WFP-supported water canals. Land that is now lush and green, and feeds thousands of families in #Afghanistan.

Amid hardship, #Afghanistan's beauty and magic endure. ✨ As the year draws to a close, we want to thank our donors whose support helps resilient communities grow stronger. Thank you for planting seeds of hope for 2025 and the years to come. 💙🙏
