We are so proud to have had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of ultra-poor families in Kunar, Afghanistan.

In partnership with @WAWHumanRights, we were able to distribute 330 food packages to these families. This support will make a huge impact on the 2825 individuals in these families, 89 of which are led by women and 241 of which are led by men.

In addition to these families, we were also able to provide aid to 28 widows, 39 disabled individuals, and 2 patients.

We distributed emergency food packages to 80 families in the Gayan district of Paktika!
We also had a medical team with us, providing first aid support, medicines, and relief (mainly to injured kids). (1/4) All these families either lost members or had injured ones. 70% of the families supported lost their houses and everything they owned, and 30% were displaced as their homes could fall at any minute.

🚨📣15 more families are supported in Samangan with your donations through the campaign organized by @toimohammadbegzad.📣🚨

(1/4) ⤵️⤵️ Samangan is a province located on the northern side of the country. It is one of the most underserved and remote regions in Afg, consisting of 59% of mountainous terrain. Thus, it makes it hard for families living there to have easy and immediate access to aid and food. (2/4)

Announcement 📣 ✨
Aseel Handmade is back!!! We've upped our game too.

Aseel was initially launched to support local Afghan artisans by selling their handmade products worldwide.

Important THREAD 👇 On August 15, 2021, we pivoted our platform and operations to support the Afghan people by providing relief packages through “Aseel ER.”

After months of trying to restore our #supplychain, Aseel handmade is back and even better → we'll be adding awesome new vendors soon!

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).

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)

🧵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.

🛑🛑🛑With the support of @OrianeZerah, we have helped 40 war-affected families in #Sheberghan, #Mazar, #Herat, #Badakhshan, #Takhar, #Kunduz, #Sar-e-Pol, and #Jawzjan. (1/4) Watch our distribution video of the mentioned provinces and get a glimpse of how your donations reach different parts of Afg to support destitute families in the most critical times. (2/4)

🧵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.

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)

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)

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.

However, we need to reach our target of $15,000 to cover all 250 families. (2/4)

The current crisis has affected the livelihoods of many Afghans including artisans, who once sold beautiful Afghan handmade products and now they are unable to do so. 1/4 On 7th and 8th Dec, through donations coming from sale of @OrianeZerah photographs, we distributed emergency food packages to 30 families in Istalif, Kabul.
We thank all those who contributed to this cause. 2/4
