Feed the Hungry,Warm the Cold-Support Afghanistan

Dear supporters of AfD,

The current state of Afghanistan demands urgent attention as the population faces unparalleled challenges exacerbated by a complex array of economic, political, social, and security issues. The situation has intensified, particularly with the resurgence of the Taliban and the ongoing conflict around the world. As winter approaches, the country's already fragile conditions are further compounded, pushing millions towards the brink of famine – a crisis of a magnitude unseen in a quarter-century. More than six million people are grappling with severe food insecurity, a drastic escalation from the conditions observed in 2022, whereas another two million refugees who lived in Pakistan for the duration of 40 years, are being pushed back into the country, just at the start of harsh cold season.

In these dire circumstances, the daily lives of people of Afghanistan are increasingly marred by the specter of famine, resulting in a rapid rise in mortality rates, especially among the most vulnerable, including children under the age of five.

In recognition of these pressing emergencies and after conducting a thorough needs assessment, AfD has undertaken an emergency winterization project in Afghanistan. Our efforts have focused on distributing essential supplies such as food, quilts, and coal to families in dire need. During our 2023 campaign, we were privileged to assist over 385 families, effectively aiding more than 2,192 individuals. Notably, a significant proportion of our aid recipients were children aged between 0 to 12 years old.

Our commitment extends beyond seasonal interventions. AfD remains dedicated to providing sustained support by operating year-round, ensuring access to vital resources for the most vulnerable. Through the schools we've established in Afghanistan, we regularly distribute meals to over 400 children, underscoring our ongoing dedication to alleviating hunger and enhancing the lives of those in need.

During these challenging times, we appeal for your generous contributions to aid those facing the gravest circumstances. Your support is indispensable in enabling us to execute our vital missions. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have placed their trust in our organization and its endeavors, emphasizing that every contribution received significantly aids us in realizing our goals.

Thank you for your unwavering support and for standing in solidarity with us.

Sincerely,
