Street Child (former Children in Crisis)

The fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021 brought the biggest challenges Street Child has faced in our 25 years of operations in Afghanistan. Over the last year, there has been dramatic economic suffering and we've witnessed the significant narrowing of space for women in society. 

In spite of these challenges, we have sustained, and expanded, our reach by keeping over 100,000 girls and boys safe, in school, and learning. We have increased our geographic footprint from five to 15 provinces – going where others won’t – to provide humanitarian relief and response, where and when needed. Our 1,800-strong team is now working on 11 active projects alongside our 6 local partner organisations.
