Afghanistan Special Trust Fund Supports Shelter Provision for Vulnerable Families
The Afghanistan Special Trust Fund has announced that, in collaboration with partner organizations, it is supporting the process of providing secure shelters for vulnerable families, especially internally displaced persons and returnees, in parts of the country. The fund emphasized that access to shelter is the essential first step in rebuilding the lives of these families.
According to information released by the organization, providing safe living spaces can help ensure protection, stability, and a fresh start while preserving human dignity for families forced to leave their homes due to crises.
In recent years, the increase in internal displacement and the return of many Afghan migrants from neighboring countries have heightened the need for shelter and basic services in many areas of the country. Aid organizations have consistently stressed that the lack of adequate shelter exposes vulnerable families to health, economic, and social risks.
The Afghanistan Special Trust Fund is a United Nations support mechanism that, by mobilizing international partners, finances and supports humanitarian and development projects in Afghanistan.
