Herat, Afghanistan: Inside World Vision's Integrated Earthquake Relief Efforts

In Herat, western Afghanistan, the devastation of the 2023 earthquake is still visible — but so is the resilience of the people. World Vision’s integrated response is helping families recover through ongoing health services, psychosocial support, and safe spaces for children to learn, play, and heal. The approach addresses both physical and emotional well-being, helping restore dignity and stability to affected communities.
