As the harsh Afghan winter looms closer, recent surveys conducted by the World Food Program (WFP) have revealed that only five percent of families have enough to eat every day, while half reported they had run out of food altogether at least once in the past two weeks. For the first time, urban residents are suffering from food insecurity at similar rates to rural communities, which have been ravaged by drought twice in the past three years.

The situation is also dire among the middle classes, who used to be able to feed their families every day. Take action now! Help needy families through your relatives or friends. Please keep in mind that a single penny can make difference.

Although the snow is beautiful, but not for everyone! While the world is celebrating Christmas and wishing for snow, so their Christmas will be more beautiful, But we Afghans are wishing for a piece of bread and a warm night to stay alive.

Marzieh, an 8 years-old-girl, has been collecting garbage from the houses all day long with his brother, so their family survive could survive and not get starved to death.

With the support of Mr. Justin Seydell , we were able to provide them with some food supplies for their winter. Winter is here, and today is the day to prevent a family from starvation; so please donate to the below link if anyone would like to help these children and families. Even a penny can have an impact on someone’s life and save their lives.
