Mehrafza, a 16 years old high school student, wanted to become a journalist. Her hopes are vanished. She says, “I am very hopeless. I had so many hopes, but now I feel my future is dark and uncertain. My rights as a human being are taken away.” #LetAfghanGirlsLearn#Afghanistan
Mehrafza has three more sisters who are also school students. Due to the ban on girls education, they cannot go to school and pursue their dreams. Her sisters are very concerned. Among them is a 21 year old who is blind. She used to go to school and learn skills.
Her blind sister is also staying at home. Their father sells fruits & vegetables on a cart in Kabul city. They are a family of 8 persons. The humanitarian crisis has struck them hard. Her father barely earns between 100-200 Afghanis. He has to feed the family, pay the rent,
Pay electricity and water bills and provide other necessities. Mehrafza is telling me that there are nights when the whole family sleeps on half filled stomach. #Afghanistan#SaveAfghanistan#Humanitarian

Update about Hinna:
Henna is back to her home. I visited her last week. She was better than when I first saw her. Her surgery hasn’t been done yet, bec she isn’t ready for it. The doctors conducted check ups and provided her medicine for 6 months. She is taking the medicine.
She may go back to Pakistan in three months for surgery if she has good progress. If not, she will visit Pakistan after six months for check ups and possibility of the surgery. She is very grateful for the support, care and prayers of everyone involved.
She lives in a remote area in Kunar where phones do not work properly, but I manage to talk to her once a week. I send her fresh fruit, juice and other required things on weekly basis. Plz keep her in your prayers. What’s next with the money fundraised?
It was an honor collaborating with @idek2022@EmilyKennedy85@ASEELApp to feed 156 families in #Kunar#Afghanistan. Thank you everyone who contributed in anyway towards this. A big thanks 🙏🙏 to all the donors for their generous and kind donations.
The Feed 150 Families in Kunar fundraising campaign provided food packages to 36 widows and 111 Ultra-Poor Families in Kunar plus six more packages were given to families in distribution site. Overall 1094 individuals were supported of which more than 60% were children.
Here are more photos. Please support our other campaign and help more families during this dire situation. You can start your own campaign with @ASEELApp and support families in #Afghanistan

Dear Fellow Afghans!
I would like to establish a point here. Plz don’t ask anyone for sending you money directly. If you are someone who needs food bec you have lost your job or can’t find work or don’t afford food, request them to buy you a package through @ASEELApp or
Or @zamirfoundation
It’s absolutely unethical to ask someone to send you money directly. You need food, request them to order you a package and only if you know them, have worked with them or there is a prior connection. If you received one package, stop asking for more.
I would also like to recommend to DM me (DMs open 24/7 unless I get a job). I will make sure you get food package only if you are eligible. I can’t provide cash to you (I don’t have it).
Dear Twitter friends, if someone requests you for sending them money, best way is to block
The first package from the “Child and Family Relief Fund” delivered. Heartbreaking to know that recipient has a Masters Degree in International Relations & was a PHD Candidate (ruined dream). He served for years in ANDSF & has worked in Director level. Imagine ordinary #Afghans
In total six packages were delivered to vulnerable families in Kabul. It’s family received Food Package and a child relief package. The family had a baby girl only 4 months old. She is sick and the family could either afford her medicine or their food. Tough choice, right?
“Hello, I am a breadwinner for a family of eight. Before the Taliban came, I was a simple worker. I was providing for myself. I have been unemployed for six months. I went to aid companies. No one provided assistance
I want you to support me if it is a loaf of bread”
January 4, the day I started volunteering with @ASEELApp. I’m making this thread to highlight what have I achieved so far. It will be pinned to my profile. I will add all my previous tweets and future tweets of package deliveries. #Afghanistan#saveafghanistan#AfghanistanCrisis
🧵This thread is about the beneficiaries receiving food packages from our food drive for #Kunar province. ⛔️People in #Afghanistan R in worst situation than what we hear. If you can’t donate, RT/share in networks, spread it. @ASEELApp@NasratKhalid 1/X aseelapp.com/af/food-drive-…
My team went to Tango Camp, a village where more than 400 families live. 50 families (15 widows & 35 ultra-poor families) were identified. The team will continue identifying more families for the food drive and will be added to this #Thread #AfghanistanCrisis#Famine#Afghan 2/X
The team went door to door & inside the houses. This little brave girl explained their financial situation. Her father goes out every morning in hopes to find work. He returns empty hands. They have little food to survive. Plz help such families with food. 3/X #SaveAfghanistan
