Help Those Affected by this Disaster
A massive surge in vulnerable people returning to Afghanistan has been reported following Pakistan’s decision to expel 1.7 million refugees from the country. Each day, thousands of Afghans are crossing the border, but they don’t have any homes to return to.
This comes just weeks after three powerful (6.3 magnitude) earthquakes struck western Afghanistan causing mass destruction and leaving 114,000 people in need of humanitarian assistance, according to UN officials.
Three consecutive years of drought coupled with persistent economic decline, natural disasters and prolonged conflict has left the people of Afghanistan experiencing a devastating food and poverty crisis. Currently, 29 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance while 15.3 million people are facing food insecurity [UN].
Winter is now approaching. In this dire situation, every single donation is vital in protecting one more family. Our Motherkind clinic in Kabul is on the frontline of treating malnutrition in mothers and babies, our Tandoor Bakery in Kabul provides fresh naans daily to desperate families, our wells are providing clean water to whole villages and our orphan sponsorship programmes ensure that the most vulnerable children are receiving support.
Your donations have been helping our Afghan brothers and sisters for over two decades. We urgently need you to continue standing by them in their hour of great need.
Donate your Sadaqah and Zakat today to ensure families in Afghanistan are given the food they need to survive this crisis.
Facts on the Ground
Combating Food Insecurity: Muslim Hands’ Tandoor Bakery
In Afghanistan, one third of the population, 15.3 million people do not have enough food to eat. This situation is heartbreaking and is exactly why our humanitarian work on the ground is essential. Just before Ramadan 2022, Muslim Hands opened our very first Tandoor bakery in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Since its launch we have been distributing hundreds of fresh naans to vulnerable people every day. The naans produced by the Tandoor bakery are a lifeline for so many. In a country where 29.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, this project has started a positive chapter in their stories.
