Shazia trains over 3,000 Afghan women in Agriculture: UN
The United Nations Coordination Office for Humanitarian Assistance in Afghanistan has recounted the story of a woman who works as an agricultural trainer in the country, having trained over 3,000 other women in farm sectors so far.
According to the UNOCHA report, Shazia started as an agricultural trainer five years ago, teaching women various aspects of poultry farming, including chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys.
In addition to poultry farming, Shazia is skilled in land preparation, planting, and fertilization.
According to UNOCHA, Shazia inherited her interest in agriculture from her father and has trained over 3,000 women in various provinces.
Shazia advocates for global community collaboration in the agricultural sector.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) announced earlier this year that it had assisted 13,000 women in agriculture in Afghanistan.
UN relief agencies have been assisting numerous single women in Afghanistan in the agricultural and livestock sectors for several years.
The dire humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan continues to escalate, exacerbating the suffering of millions of vulnerable civilians.
Despite the urgent need for assistance, humanitarian organizations operating in Afghanistan face a critical funding shortfall.
This shortage severely limits their ability to provide life-saving aid and support to those most in need. As a result, many vulnerable individuals, including women and children, are left without access to vital resources and assistance, further deepening the humanitarian crisis in the country.
