The Crisis in Afghanistan Continues to Escalate

Afghanistan faces a severe water crisis. In rural areas, access to clean, safe drinking water is a daily struggle for countless families. Prolonged droughts, insufficient infrastructure, and the aftermath of decades of conflict have left many communities without reliable sources of water. This shortage not only affects drinking water but also impacts agriculture, sanitation, and overall health, making life even more challenging for those who already face extreme hardship.

The Crisis in Numbers

  • Just 42% of all Afghans have access to safe drinking water
  • Only 27% of the rural population have access to sanitation facilities.
  • Millions of lives hang in the balance

Mahboba's Promise making a difference

At Mahboba’s Promise, we believe that access to clean water is a fundamental human right. To address this pressing issue, we have launched an initiative to build water wells in the most affected regions of Afghanistan. Each well we construct will provide clean, accessible water to an entire community, transforming lives and offering hope for a brighter future.

With your help, we can build more wells and bring life-saving water to those who need it most. Every well we build is a step towards breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering communities to thrive.

We need your support to make this mission a reality. A donation of $10,000 will fund the construction of one water well, providing a sustainable water source for hundreds of people. Any contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal.

Your generosity will directly impact the lives of those in desperate need. Together, we can ensure that Afghan families have access to the clean water they deserve.
