Seven-year-old Maryam should have been dreaming about school, friends, and the future. Instead, her childhood became the price of survival.

After years of drought, displacement, unemployment, and crushing debt, her parents faced an impossible choice. Unable to feed their children or repay what they owed, they agreed to marry Maryam to a creditor when she turned 13 - hoping it would keep the rest of the family alive.

No parent should ever have to choose between feeding their children today and protecting their daughter's future tomorrow. Yet millions of families trapped in poverty face impossible decisions every day.

World Vision continues to support vulnerable families with healthcare, food assistance, and cash support, helping parents find hope before desperation steals another child's future. But the need remains immense.

Every child deserves a childhood, not merely a survival strategy.

Every journey can save a life.

Across Afghanistan's remote and hard-to-reach communities, dedicated health workers like Farzana travel long, challenging roads to reach mothers and children who would otherwise have little or no access to healthcare.

As a midwife with World Vision Afghanistan's Mobile Health and Nutrition Team, Farzana provides life-saving maternal and child health services, nutrition support, and hope—bringing essential care directly to families' doorsteps.

Because no mother or child should be left behind simply because of where they live.

از مزرعه تا بازار

در نمایشگاه بین‌المللی زراعتی افغانستان در کابل، نمایندگان اتحادیه ابریشم هرات حضور یافته‌اند تا راه‌های تازه‌ای برای معرفی و فروش محصولات تولیدکنندگان ابریشم پیدا کنند. بیش از ۸۰۰ زن نیز در بخش‌های مختلف تولید ابریشم فعالیت دارند.

این حضور با حمایت ورلد ویژن افغانستان و ائتلاف کمک‌رسانی آلمان (ADH) فراهم شده است تا تولیدکنندگان به بازارهای بیشتری دسترسی پیدا کنند، معیشت خانواده‌ها تقویت شود و زمینه رشد صنعت ابریشم فراهم گردد؛ صنعتی که زنان در آن نقش مهمی دارند.

محمد ویس، نماینده تولیدکنندگان ابریشم، می‌گوید:

«ما مهارت داریم و محصولات باکیفیت تولید می‌کنیم؛ آنچه نیاز داریم، ارتباط بهتر با بازار است. نمایشگاه‌هایی مانند این به ما کمک می‌کند تا محصولات خود را فراتر از بازارهای محلی معرفی و عرضه کنیم.»

From farm to market

At the Afghanistan International Agro Expo in Kabul, representatives of the Herat Silk Union are building new connections for a wider silk-producing community that includes more than 800 women.

Supported by World Vision Afghanistan through the Aktion Deutschland Hilft (ADH), their participation is about strengthening market access, local livelihoods and a value chain in which women play a vital role.

“We have the skills and quality products; what we need are stronger market connections. Opportunities like this exhibition help us take our products beyond local markets.” – Mohammad Waiss, Silk Producers’ Representative

"Healing begins when someone chooses not to give up on you."

For years, Rahima* lived with the invisible scars of forced marriage, family violence, and emotional trauma. Without access to mental health care, her condition worsened, and hope seemed out of reach.

Things began to change when she decided to seek support at a World Vision Afghanistan health centre.

With the support of dedicated mental health professionals, specialised treatment, counselling, and the unwavering encouragement of her care team, Rahima slowly began to heal. Today, she visits the clinic independently, reconnects with her community, and is pursuing vocational opportunities - looking toward the future with renewed confidence and hope.

By integrating Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) into its healthcare services, World Vision Afghanistan is providing more holistic support to people like Rahima - helping her rebuild her life one conversation, one counselling session, and one step at a time.

This recent story, from July 2025, reminds us that empowering parents with knowledge can be just as life-changing as providing food.

“Now, I know how often to feed my child and how to prepare meals specially for them", says Zarmina, a mother from the remote Dawlatyar district of Ghor.

For many families in rural Afghanistan, child malnutrition is driven not only by poverty but also by limited access to nutrition knowledge and healthcare. Through World Vision Afghanistan's food demonstration sessions, mothers are learning practical skills to prepare nutritious, age-appropriate meals using simple, locally available ingredients.

What began as a simple cooking demonstration has become a powerful, community-led solution. Mothers are changing feeding practices, improving hygiene, and giving their children a healthier start in life. As knowledge spreads from one household to another, communities are becoming stronger in the fight against malnutrition.

Because every child deserves the chance to grow healthy, thrive, and reach their full potential.

دوام: یادگیری در کنار جوامع

در جریان یک سفر مشترک یادگیری به ساحات پروژه دوام در ولایت‌های غور و دایکندی، همکاران پروژه گرد هم آمدند تا تجربه‌های خود را با یکدیگر شریک سازند و مهم‌تر از همه، از مردم محل بیاموزند؛ مردمی که با تلاش، همکاری و مشارکت خود، زمینه زندگی سالم‌تر را برای خانواده‌ها و به‌ویژه کودکان‌شان فراهم می‌کنند.

«پیش از ایجاد این مرکز صحی، برای درمان حتی بیماری‌های ساده باید بیش از سه ساعت راه می‌رفتیم. اکنون کودکان در همین نزدیکی واکسین می‌شوند و زنان دیگر مجبور نیستند در مسیر رفتن به شفاخانه ولسوالی زایمان کنند.»
یکی از باشندگان قریه فلخور، ولایت غور

«وقتی نتیجه و فایده این پروژه را دیدم، تشویق شدم که برای خانواده خود نیز یک تشناب صحی بسازم.»
علی‌رضا، باشنده قریه کریمداد، ولایت دایکندی

«پیش از ایجاد شبکه آبرسانی، تهیه آب میان خانواده‌ها باعث اختلاف و تنش میشد. اکنون آن مشکلات برطرف شده و این پروژه باعث شده است که مردم قریه با هم صمیمی‌تر و متحدتر باشند.»
یکی از باشندگان قریه سری‌غرغره، ولایت دایکندی

هر بازدید ساحوی، تنها فرصتی برای دیدن فعالیت‌های پروژه نیست؛ بلکه فرصتی است برای شنیدن صدای مردم، آموختن از تجربه‌های آنان و بهتر ساختن خدمات. با یادگیری مشترک در کنار جوامع و همکاران، کنسرسیوم دوام به تقویت خدمات صحی، تغذیه و آب، حفظ‌الصحه و بهداشت (WASH) در مناطقی که بیشترین نیاز را دارند ادامه میدهد.

این دستاوردها با حمایت اداره امور خارجه، کشورهای همسود و توسعه بریتانیا (FCDO) و با نقش فعال و مشارکت مردم محل به دست آمده است؛ زیرا باور داریم که بهترین راه‌حل‌ها زمانی شکل می‌گیرند که جوامع در مرکز تصمیم‌گیری و اجرای تغییرات قرار داشته باشند.

دوام: له ټولنو سره یوځای زده کړه

د دوام پروژې د ګډې ساحوي زده کړې د سفر په ترڅ کې، چې د غور او دایکندي ولایتونو کې ترسره شو، د پروژې همکاران سره راټول شول څو خپلې تجربې له یو بل سره شریکې کړي او تر ټولو مهمه دا چې له هغو ټولنو څخه زده کړه وکړي چې د خپلو ماشومانو او کورنیو لپاره د لا ښه او سالم راتلونکي په جوړولو کې فعاله ونډه لري.

«له دې روغتیايي مرکز څخه مخکې، د کوچنیو ناروغیو د درملنې لپاره هم باید له درې ساعتونو څخه زیات مزل کړی وای. اوس ماشومان په همدې سیمه کې واکسین کېږي او ښځې نور اړې نه دي چې ولسوالۍ روغتون ته د تګ پر مهال ماشوم وزېږوي.»
د غور ولایت، د فلخور کلي یو اوسېدونکی

«کله چې مې د دې پروژې ګټې ولیدې، وهڅېدم چې د خپلې کورنۍ لپاره هم یو روغتیايي تشناب جوړ کړم.»
علي رضا، د دایکندي ولایت د کریمداد کلي اوسېدونکی

«د اوبو رسولو له شبکې مخکې، د اوبو راوړل د کورنیو ترمنځ د شخړو او ستونزو لامل کېدل. اوس هغه ستونزې له منځه تللې دي او دې پروژې زموږ د کلي خلک یو بل ته لا نږدې کړي دي.»
د دایکندي ولایت، د سري غرغره کلي یو اوسېدونکی

هر ساحوي سفر یوازې د پروژې د فعالیتونو د لیدلو لپاره نه وي، بلکې د خلکو د خبرو د اورېدو، د هغوی له تجربو څخه د زده کړې او د خدمتونو د لا ښه کولو لپاره هم یو ارزښتناک فرصت دی.

د داوام کنسرسیوم د ټولنو او شریکانو سره د ګډې زده کړې له لارې، په هغو سیمو کې چې اړتیا یې ډېره ده، د روغتیا، تغذیې، اوبو، حفظ‌الصحې او روغتیايي چلند (WASH) د خدمتونو د پیاوړتیا لپاره خپلو هڅو ته دوام ورکوي.

دا ټول د بریتانیا د بهرنیو چارو، ګډو ګټو او پراختیا دفتر (FCDO) په ملاتړ او د خلکو په فعال ګډون ترسره کېږي، ځکه موږ باور لرو چې تلپاتې بدلون هغه وخت رامنځته کېږي چې ټولنې د پرمختګ او پرېکړو په مرکز کې وي.

During a joint field learning visit to DAWAM project sites in Ghor and Daikundi, partners came together to exchange experience and, most importantly, to learn from the communities shaping healthier futures for their children.

"Before this health facility, we travelled more than three hours for even minor illnesses. Now children receive vaccinations close to home, and women no longer have to give birth on the way to the district hospital."

Community member, Flakhor Village, Ghor
"Seeing the benefits encouraged me to build a latrine for my own family."

Ali Reza, Karimdad Village, Daikundi
"Before the water supply network, collecting water caused tensions among families. Now those conflicts have disappeared, and the project has brought our community closer together."

Community member, Sari Gharghara Village, Daikundi
Every field visit is an opportunity not simply to observe projects, but to listen, reflect and respond. Through shared learning with communities and partners, the DAWAM Consortium continues to strengthen health, nutrition and WASH services where they are most needed, with communities in the driving seat, thanks to support from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).

World Vision has distributed 1,000 insect collection nets to farming households in Obe and Chisht-e Sharif districts of Herat Province to support community-led efforts to manage Sunn pest—one of the most damaging threats to wheat production.

The nets enable farmers to collect and reduce pest populations in their fields using practical and environmentally responsible methods. This can help protect crops, improve wheat yields and strengthen household food security.

By equipping farming communities with appropriate tools and promoting integrated pest management practices, World Vision is supporting farmers to strengthen agricultural resilience and sustain their livelihoods.

These efforts form part of World Vision’s wider work with vulnerable rural communities across Herat, Badghis, Faryab and Ghor provinces.
