In Kosa Qala, northern Afghanistan, families had no choice but to drink from contaminated water sources. Waterborne diseases were part of daily life, especially for children. The burden fell hardest on women, children, and people with disabilities like Jamaludin. Now, clean water flows from taps at their doorsteps — a lifeline made possible through World Vision’s programme. But this progress is fragile. Afghanistan’s water crisis is a multifaceted emergency, fueled by climate change, and inadequate infrastructure. A staggering 59% of water systems are broken or dried up after decades of underfunding. Without urgent and sustained investment in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), millions more lives will be at risk. 🎥 Watch the story of Kosa Qala – a powerful reminder of what’s at stake and why this vital work must continue across more villages.

The transformation was profound; his children could now attend school on time, focus on their studies, and live healthier lives. With water at home, Nyandwi also improved their nutrition, and life-changing for his family and community.
