Sunita, a 12 year old girl living on the mountains across Kabul, is forced to work daily on the streets of the city. Recently she has enrolled into the school for "street-working children" that Action for Development has established in 3 different locations in Kabul. She has shared her life experience with our project coordinator.
« I only have my dad left as my mother died a few years ago after giving birth to my baby brother. She was sick for a while after the delivery, and my dad sold his kidney to be able to pay for her medicine and for an operation. However, my mother died leaving us alone. Now, my dad falls sick often due to his poor health condition and he cannot work. I have five sisters and one three-year-old brother. I go on the streets to sell bags or some other items to earn some money, which is not enough to feed all of us. In winter, my dad picks some paper and cardboard from the streets to fuel our heater».
In order to assist the population of Afghanistan when the harsh winter season arrives, every year Action for Development distributes wood or coal to vunerable families, internally displaced persons and women-headed households.
We thank every donor who helps us provide heat for the most vulnerable in Afghanistan.
Without your donations this project would have not been possible.
