Powerful earthquakes devastated Afghanistan in 2025, claiming thousands of lives and destroying countless homes.

Today, hope is being rebuilt. With @IFRC support, the @ARCSAfghanistan is training local masons in earthquake-resistant construction and providing cash assistance to affected families. Supporting the construction of 160 safer homes.

So, 5 years after the WHS promises and GB commitments:
⬆️ Cash a clear winner
▶️Localisation is firmly on the agenda, but only modest progress made
▶️Needs assessment have a 'preliminary' framework
🔽But there has been no participation revolution
🔽Or headway on reporting

Hey @BunchesUK ! My sister @AbigailGoswell got some lush flowers 💐 today- but with the wrong message. (I’m pretty sure she never had kids 😝) Can we track down Stephen, Bernadette and their hilariously named animals? Ps is Chaton pronounced Shaton? If so best cat name ever! 🐈
