Thousands of families need our help.

Kunar province is facing a severe humanitarian emergency.
Ongoing conflict, cross-border strikes, and forced returns have displaced thousands of families, many of whom fled their homes overnight with nothing.
Now living in temporary tents, these families are struggling to survive without access to food, income, or basic services.
For many, the immediate threat is no longer just conflict, it is hunger.

In a country already struggling with unimaginable poverty, political uncertainty, and limited resources, this disaster pushes people beyond the breaking point.

Who is affected by the displacement?

This crisis is impacting the most vulnerable:

Internally Displaced Families (IDPs)
Forced returnees from Pakistan
Women-headed households
Pregnant and nursing mothers
Families caring for the elderly and disabled

Many households have lost their primary source of income and are unable to recover without urgent support.

How You Can Help

Penny Appeal USA is responding with emergency food assistance.

We are providing food packs to over 300 families in Kunar, helping stabilize households during this critical time.

Each food pack is designed to meet immediate nutritional needs and support families until they can safely return or resettle.

How do our Emergency Response efforts work?

During emergencies, there’s no time to waste! Putting a humanitarian relief campaign together takes time that victims of disaster or conflict may not have. That’s why we often pledge or commit an amount before turning to you to raise funds.

When your donations go over the amount we pledged, we either return the excess into a General Emergency Response fund so that we can respond quickly for the next emergency, or we run a phase II of the campaign if the need is still urgent.

Your donations often cover what we spend, but not always. When we’re short, we use funds from the General Emergency Response pool.

In an emergency, we do our best to use all our funding for that particular emergency as soon as possible or in phases. We believe in transparency with our donors and value every penny you trust us with. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about where your donations go!
