‘The food you sent helped, please thank people for their assistance to the poor and needy people of Afghanistan.
27 October 2021
Thank you! Your donations have enabled us to deliver emergency food supplies to more families displaced to remote villages in Bamyan province. Our team spent time talking to the families we supported and sent back interviews, which bring home the tough reality of life in Afghanistan right now and the impact of your support.
Mohammad, pictured, fled his home with his eight children because of ‘fighting, insecurity and panic among the people’. Unable to find anywhere to live, he has worked to make a derelict building habitable. He told us his hopes were ‘that security and peace will come, then work and duty are created for the people and our children can go to school’.
Masooma, pictured with her son, (see the Gallery) is one of the many women facing an unknown future, too frightened to leave the place where she is sheltering. Tahira another woman who received aid, repeated the thanks of everyone ‘The food you sent helped, please thank people for their assistance to the poor and needy people of Afghanistan. War and insecurity have ruined our homeland. If they can help us more, we need clothes, blankets, and food so that our children do not perish in the cold winter. Thank you.’
Needs in Afghanistan are immense, but we know we can get aid to families. Please help us extend our networks by sharing our work so we can continue to help families survive the winter. If you would like more information, please email us communications@reliefaid.org.nz
