Afghanistan is facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The nation has endured decades of conflict, political upheaval, severe economic decline and recurrent extreme climate shocks, and it is estimated that 58% of the population will require humanitarian assistance this year. Please join us in praying for Afghanistan: 🙏🏼 Most recently, hundreds of lives have been lost to flash flooding. Pray that support would reach the most vulnerable in communities affected by the recent floods, as well as those still grieving and recovering from earlier disasters. 🙏🏼 Pray that doors would open for our partners' work in communities. Pray for the provision of funding needed to resource this work. 🙏🏼 Pray for the staff of Tearfund’s partners – for their protection, encouragement and perseverance despite the hardship and uncertainty they face for their own families. 🙏🏼 For renewed hope for those who are despondent about the future of their country and for their families.

Today marks three years since Afghanistan experienced a significant change in government. We remember those events and the lives forever changed. Afghanistan is facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Tearfund’s commitment to Afghanistan remains steadfast, and our partners – many of whom we've worked with for decades – continue to do all they can to support people there. This month, you have a unique chance to hear firsthand stories of resilience and hope from our Afghan partner. Don’t miss this powerful opportunity to connect with the ongoing work in Afghanistan. ⭐Join us at this nationwide event—register now for an event near you: https://lnkd.in/gEttkj2b

Last week, Ben Howes from Tearfund and 19 key stakeholders from Micah Australia's Pacific Australian Emerging Leaders Network (PAELN) gathered in Fiji for a transformative co-design trip. Hear about his experience 👇🏼 "The Fiji Co-Design Trip was a deeply transformative, intercultural experience - we gathered to discover, dream and design for the future of the PAEL initiative as a Pacific family! We created comprehensive next steps & a shared vision of what the network can catalyse through regional advocacy and impact. Finally, we left feeling humbled and inspired by communities like Togoru village, displaying resilience and adaptation in the face of severe climate change." Ben Howes.
