The United Arab Emirates Aid Agency signed a $3 million agreement with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to build permanent homes for 2,950 Afghan returnees.
The construction projects will take place in the Kabul, Herat, and Kunduz provinces of Afghanistan. The agency designed the homes to withstand the effects of climate change while providing sustainable shelter for people rebuilding their lives. The initiative focuses on supporting vulnerable women and children who have been affected by humanitarian crises.
The UAE Aid Agency announced the deal during AidEx 2026, a humanitarian aid and disaster relief conference in Geneva. The program aims to provide long term solutions for displaced populations by creating stable living environments for those returning to the country.
