Story of an Afghan family living in a small village in Istalif, Kabul:
A family of 8 members faces crippling hunger and cold, marking some of the worst days of their life. Days they never imagined are now upon them. (1/5)
Abdul Fayaz is the breadwinner of the family, and with him currently unemployed, they have no other source of income to survive these harsh winter days.
Although we helped Abdul Fayaz's family with the generous donations we received from you,(2/5)
many more families are still awaiting a ray of hope in the form of help.
It is gut-wrenching to see people becoming victims of starvation in this era. (3/5)
The cold and gloomy days of winter are here. With the financial crisis, people cannot purchase winter clothes to keep themselves warm. They can't buy a piece of bread that costs only 10 Afs. The tragedy keeps unfolding each day, bringing new horrors in Afghanistan. (4/5)
Samad is living in Ghazni with his family of eight members, majorly comprising of children. Amidst the current crisis, he has lost his job and cannot feed or keep his children warm during this cold season. (1/4)
Fortunately, he was supported by your donations through Aseel. You have warmed their home and hearts this winter.
Watch what he has to say about the situation he is going through; one which is faced by many others in Afghanistan. (2/4)
The situation is worsening as the weather gets colder. With each passing day, more families like Samad's need urgent help to survive.
You can do your part and save lives through Aseel from anywhere in the world. You're just a few clicks away. (3/4)
With 2021 coming to an end, we'd like to take the opportunity to extend our most heartfelt gratitude to all those that took part in our mission to help war-scarred individuals in Afghanistan. (1/4)
Together we provided life-saving packages to 35,000 individuals, which could have not been possible without you. We are proud of you for making such a big difference and are extremely humbled by your generosity and will to help. (2/4)
However, millions of Afghans still need urgent help, and the Christmas holidays are a perfect time to give a shoulder to those in need.
You can do this by gifting a lifesaving package, raising awareness, and participating in our efforts. (3/4)
