On August 31, 2025, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake devastated thousands of homes in eastern Afghanistan. Over 2,000 people lost their lives, and the death toll continues to rise. The remote, mountainous terrain limits emergency aid in a region already facing inadequate healthcare and infrastructure. The risk of respiratory illness and diarrheal disease is imminent as people crowd into temporary shelters.

One Day’s Wages’ trusted partner, Action for Development, quickly mobilized a mobile health team of Afghan medical professionals to reach earthquake-affected communities in Kunar Province. The team includes a doctor, midwife, pharmacist, psychosocial counselor, and nurses who will offer emergency wound care, maternal health services, and psychosocial support to an estimated 13,000 people over one month. The mobile clinic will also distribute hygiene kits and essential medications.
