Over 840,000 People in Afghanistan Gain Access to Safe Drinking Water in 2025, UN Reports
The United Nations has announced that during 2025, a total of 840,826 individuals in Afghanistan gained access to safe and potable drinking water with the support of the UN agency.
This figure, published in the UN’s 2025 outcome report, highlights that access to basic water supply services remains one of the fundamental needs in many regions of the country.
Access to safe water is considered a key indicator of human development, and its absence can lead to serious health consequences, especially for children and low-income families.
Afghanistan has faced extensive economic and climatic challenges in recent years, and international organizations have repeatedly stressed the importance of sustainable investment in water and public services sectors.
