The way forward for Winterization Aid in Afghanistan

Winter is now over in Afghanistan, although nights can still remain cool for many. This means that it's time for us to wrap-up our winterization campaign but start planning for next year to make our impact reach more people.

Over the past year, thanks to your support, Action for Development (AfD) has helped 608 marginalized families and rural communities in Afghanistan. Over 4,250 individuals recieved wood, coal and duvets in order to withstand the harsh temperatures of the Afghan winter. In January, AfD also distributed winter clothes and shoes to about 200 children attending our education programme in Kabul.

As part of our plans for winter 2021-2022, we would like to expand our support further by engaging and training 50 local stove producers to develop new environmentally-friendly stoves that will then be distributed to 500 families in need.

We thank you for your continued support throughout the years and we kindly ask you to help us fund the 2021 winterization campaign in support of Afghan communities! Every donation counts and make a huge difference.

Taking this opportunity to wish you and your families a blessed Holy month of Ramadan!
