AFGHANISTAN

Afghanistan struggles with political instability, an economy heavily dependent on foreign aid and a deepening humanitarian crisis since 2001. The year 2021 witnessed international isolation, further sanctions and severe restrictions on women and minorities with millions facing food insecurity, displacement and inadequate healthcare. A sustainable future for Afghanistan depends on inclusive governance, financial recovery and continued non-aligned global support to support long-term local economic growth. Still, Afghan’s resilience is evident through solid grassroots efforts and ongoing humanitarian support despite all the setbacks.
A Million Bread for Afghanistan
The ‘A Million Bread for Afghanistan’ initiative provides Afghans with their staple food which is bread, signifying the most needed food security by many of the country’s populations. This initiative ensures that the most vulnerable families will receive freshly made bread to complement their daily nutritional needs. By focusing on bread, the initiative plays a key role in relieving some of the woes of food insecurity and at the same time, helping many of the families to have food on their table.
Clean Water
The Clean Water project provides the community with access to clean drinking water by building water wells, installing solar powered pumps, fitting water filtration systems and supplying water tanks to ensure the vulnerable families will have reliable sources of clean water for drinking, cooking and sanitation. By improving access to clean water, the project helps to reduce the spread of waterborne diseases, supports better healthcare and improves overall living conditions.
Qurban
The Qurban project in Afghanistan addresses the critical need for food among vulnerable families, particularly those impacted by decades of conflict, poverty, and displacement. Many Afghan families, especially in rural areas or refugee camps, struggle to afford the meat traditionally consumed during Eid al-Adha. This project provides sacrificial meat to thousands of families, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), low-income households and communities living in conflict zones. The Qurban project ensures that not only families can partake in the Eid celebration with dignity but also helps them to alleviate hunger, improve nutrition and foster a sense of solidarity among them.
