Climate Resilience
Afghanistan faces increasing climate-related threats, including droughts, floods, harsh winters, and environmental degradation. These challenges severely impact vulnerable families, especially those living in rural and low-income areas.
At the Dehkada Organization for Humanitarian Aid (DOHA), our Climate Resilience Program is dedicated to helping communities adapt, prepare, and thrive in the face of climate change.
