British Airways backs Afghanistan Crisis Appeal
British Airways will support the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Afghanistan Crisis Appeal over the coming months.
Afghanistan is currently experiencing a crisis, following years of conflict, and the worst drought in 27 years.
In addition, the widespread impact of Covid-19 is causing devastation for many communities across the country.
The DEC Afghanistan Crisis Appeal launched on 15 December and will continue to run over the winter period.
British Airways’ partnership with the DEC first began in 2013.
The airline has made an initial financial contribution to support the DEC Afghanistan Crisis Appeal’s relief efforts, which aims to deliver emergency food to families, support healthcare facilities and provide winter kits to help displaced families keep warm.
It will also be encouraging donations from customers and colleagues throughout the winter.
Carrie Harris, Head of Sustainability at British Airways, said: "We’re committed to doing all we can to help communities in times of crisis."
DEC charities are already on the ground in Afghanistan and ready to scale up operations t.
Since 2013, British Airways has supported 17 humanitarian appeals and raised over £1.5 million through its partnership with the DEC.
Relief efforts have included Cyclone Idai in 2019 and the Indonesia Tsunami in 2018.
