UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, has announced that it is providing assistance to vulnerable families in Afghanistan through the “Cash Transfer Program for Mothers and Children” to help them meet their basic needs and gain better access to health and nutrition services.
In a message posted on its X account, UNICEF stated that the cash transfer program for mothers and children aims to support vulnerable families in Afghanistan.
The announcement mentioned that this program, supported by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and humanitarian funds, helps families acquire nutritious food and other essential needs.
The United Nations Children’s Fund emphasized that this program also improves access for mothers and children to health and nutrition services.
This organization added that every child deserves a healthy start in life, and supporting mothers plays a crucial role in ensuring children’s health.
It is worth noting that Afghanistan faces one of the highest rates of child malnutrition and maternal mortality in the world. A decline in humanitarian aid in recent years has left millions of families struggling to secure food and access health services.
