An exciting new partnership between the World Development and Relief Fund and Christian Aid

The people of Afghanistan are amongst the poorest on earth. More than twenty years of conflict have left roads, schools, hospitals and electricity and water infrastructure destroyed.  Today, life expectancy for Afghans is little more than 40 years. The country also has one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the world where on average, one out of every six children born does not survive.
