⚠️⚠️We need your attention to one of the child campaigns organized by @87films!
As many families live together in peace with their families and friends today, families in Afghanistan are praying day and night not to lose their children due to malnutrition. (1/3)
The number of malnourished children is rapidly increasing, and children are the primary victims of this unprecedented crisis.
We ask everyone reading this to donate (any amount can make a difference) or share the link widely with their community and those who can contribute. 2/3
On March 8, a little girl named Asra was filmed cold and trembling in a slurry of muddy snow, crying on a street corner in Kabul, Afg
The heartbreaking clip soon went viral, grabbing the attention of Aseel donor Francesca, who couldn't bear seeing a child suffering to that extent
In response, we sent volunteers searching for Asra near the video location. Our volunteer team continually searched and posted about her on social media for over a month to no avail until finally, this week, we tracked her down with help from Maki Ahmadi (who posted the clip).
Asra lives in a tiny dwelling with her family in Kabul. They were displaced from Mazar after the political shift in the country. Asra's father is sick and unable to support the family, leaving Asra the sole breadwinner. Their living condition is beyond heart-wrenching.
The weather is 23 F (-5 C); it snows heavily in Kabul. Everywhere is covered with snow. As beautiful as Kabul appears today, thousands of untold stories reside in each corner of this city. (1/4)
It is a joyous day of playing in the snow for some kids. On the other side, there are kids with cold hands, old torn clothes, no shoes, no gloves, begging for a helping hand to be able to survive this cold, harsh winter. (2/4)
We at Aseel are working non-stop every day to bring back the liveliness of this city, make the gloomy and snowy days brighter, and support as many Afghans as possible to bring joy to each family. However, we can only do this with your help. 💙 (3/4)
🧵An update on the "Kabul's Emergency Winter Appeal" campaign organized by Shameela Nizami and @zareenaao and the "Winter Support for Families in need in Afghanistan" campaign organized by @yalda_mohsen.
With your generous donations, we provided life-saving food packages to 140 war-affected families in Kabul. Your donations helped these families get through winter. A special thanks to the hardworking organizers who tirelessly worked hard to raise funds and make this happen.
We cover 18 provinces and want to expand our support to the entire country. Start your campaign to support Afghans in different areas of Afghanistan and download our mobile application to donate and raise awareness.

Our mission is to cover all provinces of Afghanistan and help as many individuals as possible. We can only achieve this with your contribution and help.

🧵With the support of "Annabellas Angels," Aseel delivered 12 food packages to the malnourished children at Indira Gandhi hospital. The packages included essential food items for babies under 5. This was our initial round of distributions in the malnutrition ward of this hospital
We express our gratitude to everyone for supporting and contributing.
Malnutrition in Afghanistan has rapidly increased these past weeks and needs serious attention before losing millions of kids to this detrimental hunger crisis.
Let's save these kids from suffering and pain.
We will soon launch our Grand Challenge on child relief, through which we will assist 15,000 malnourished children all over Afghanistan.
If you are interested in starting your campaign to support malnourished children, send an email to aseel@awal.xyz.
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)
