Help me in helping to keep this family fed until they have a visa in hand. Zarak helped Americans; now it's time for Americans to help him.

Save an Afghan family; save an entire world.

Widow families in Afghanistan are those led by women who have lost their husbands, often due to conflict, violence, or health issues. These families typically face significant challenges, including economic hardship, social stigma, and limited access to education and healthcare. Cultural norms often place additional burdens on widows, leading to marginalization and isolation. As a result, many widow families struggle to provide for their basic needs and seek support, highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions and assistance to improve their living conditions and empower these women 

This Ramadan, Be Their Light – Support Widows & Orphans

Let’s Help Safi and His Family This Ramadan!

Safi is a man who has fallen into extreme financial hardship, and due to severe struggles, he is now suffering from mental illness. He has two daughters and one son, but his life is filled with painful losses. He lost two of his sons in suicide attacks, and one of his daughters went missing in Pakistan. His wife, after suffering a head injury, continues to experience pain and suffering. His youngest daughter has a  suffering from  Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) and urgently needs medical treatment.

They have nothing to eat at home, and Safi is deeply in debt to the local bakery. The baker constantly harasses his young son, demanding that his father repay the debt. Safi, burdened by financial struggles and mental distress, reached the point where he attempted to take his own life and that of his family. Fortunately, he was not successful, and today he is still alive, still in need, and still waiting for a helping hand.

There is nothing wrong with Safi or his family—he is simply a man broken by life’s hardships. Perhaps if we extend our kindness, he can find the strength to stand again.

This Ramadan, let’s not turn away from those who are suffering. Even the smallest contribution can help provide food, medical care, and mental health support for Safi and his family. With your kindness, we can save a life and bring hope back to this family.

Let’s Save Safi from Mental Struggles and Poverty

Fatima, a 12-year-old girl, lost her mother at age three and now cares for her injured father and three siblings while living in poverty. Her father, unable to work due to war injuries, depends on her to provide for the family. With winter approaching, Fatima struggles to get essentials like firewood, food, and medical care. She works from early morning until late at night to make sure her family has enough to eat. This campaign seeks donations to help her family survive the winter by providing warmth, food, and support.



Read Fatima's Story in Her Own Words:

Fatima, with the innocence of childhood lost too soon, shared her story with tears in her eyes. Her words echoed the depth of her struggles:

"I used to dream of going to school, playing with other children, and having a normal life with my parents. But fate had other plans for me. My mother passed away when I was three, and my father, due to war injuries, couldn’t care for us. My older sister, who was like a mother to us, sacrificed her own life and married a much older man just to bring some money home so we could survive. She gave up her youth to ensure we could have food and a place to sleep. After her, I had to take on her responsibilities. Now, I work from dawn until dusk to keep my family alive.

"As I grew older, I realized life wasn’t going to be easy. Survival became my only goal. I’ve forgotten that I’m a child. I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be happy, to play, to dream. I’m no longer seen as a child, or even as a human being. On the streets, I’m harassed just because I’m a girl."

Her voice trembled as she continued to recount her daily struggles:

"Every morning, I wake up at 4 a.m. I leave our house and walk to the city. It’s still dark when I start, and I’m always scared of the dogs. Sometimes, I find someone to walk with, but often, even those who offer help have bad intentions. For nearly a year now, I’ve been painting shoes. I earn 5 Afghani for each pair I paint, and if I’m lucky, someone might give me 10 Afghani. But many days, people refuse to pay me and instead shout at me or even hit me, saying I should leave. I keep walking until 6 p.m., searching for work. At night, when I return home, it’s already dark. My little brothers, sister, and father wait for me to bring home dry bread, which is all we have to eat.

"When we have bread with tea and sugar, it feels like a celebration. Most nights, we eat bread with water, and I cry myself to sleep, praying that tomorrow will be better."

I asked Fatima about her dreams, and through her tears, she responded with words that broke my heart:

"Dreams? How can I dream when my family doesn’t even have food? I have never gone to bed with a full stomach. My wish is simple: to live like others, to eat food, and to sleep without hunger gnawing at me."

When I asked what she hoped for in the future, Fatima paused before answering:

"If God cared for me, He would have answered my prayer years ago."

I gently asked what prayer she had made that went unanswered, and her reply brought tears to my eyes:

"I prayed that my father wouldn’t cry anymore because he felt helpless. But instead, my father went blind."

Fatima’s story is a powerful reminder of the many children who are forced to grow up too soon, sacrificing their childhood to keep their families alive. Her courage and resilience in the face of such immense hardship inspire us all to take action.

Let us come together to help Fatima and her family this winter. Your contribution, whether big or small, can change their lives and provide the warmth, food, and hope they desperately need.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Let's Save Fatima's Family's Life!

This family has faced unimaginable hardship after losing everything to devastating floods. Their home and means of livelihood were completely destroyed, leaving them in dire conditions with an uncertain future. With the threat of further flooding this winter, their fears and challenges are mounting daily.

Among the family members are several young children who are not only physically impacted but also deeply affected by the trauma of their circumstances. The mother is consumed with worry about their health and well-being, knowing the cold winter months will only increase the risks they face.

The father, the family’s sole provider, is doing his best to support them through temporary labor jobs. Unfortunately, his work is irregular, leaving some days without any income and others with barely enough to cover their basic needs. This daily struggle weighs heavily on him as he fights to protect his family from hunger, cold, and despair.

This family urgently needs support to weather the harsh winter and rebuild their lives. They require financial assistance for food, warm clothing, medical supplies, and essential repairs to their home. Your contribution can make a life-saving difference, helping them survive this crisis and find hope for a better future.



Winter Relief for a Family Devastated by Floods

A family of seven, reeling from the devastating Herat earthquake, is struggling to survive after the tragic loss of their father—their sole breadwinner. The mother and her six children now face extreme poverty and daily hardships, unable to meet even their most basic needs.

The eldest son, just 14 years old, has stepped into the role of trying to support his family. However, his young age and limited opportunities make it impossible for him to provide adequately. With winter’s harshness setting in, the family faces an even graver crisis. They lack the resources for warmth, food, or medical care, leaving them vulnerable to the cold and illness.

This family urgently needs your support to secure essentials like food, warm clothing, and medicine. Your generosity can bring them hope and relief, helping them navigate this difficult time and take the first steps toward rebuilding their lives.

Support a Family Devastated by the Herat Earthquake

The children of Afghanistan, especially in remote and neglected provinces like Ghor, face unimaginable hardships. Many have lost their fathers to years of relentless war, leaving them not only orphaned but vulnerable to the cruel grip of drug addiction and deep psychological trauma. These children, who should be playing and dreaming, are instead trapped in a cycle of despair, deprived of even the most basic human needs—food, shelter, education, and love.

In such devastating conditions, the smallest act of kindness can transform their lives. Your support can be the light that lifts them out of darkness. Whether it’s financial aid to provide daily necessities, educational resources to nurture their young minds, or medical care to heal their wounds—every gesture counts.

These children deserve more than a life of suffering. Together, we can offer them a chance at healing, hope, and a future filled with possibility. Let’s unite to give these orphaned souls a reason to believe in a better tomorrow. Your compassion can change everything.

Support Ghor's Children in Need

In Afghanistan, thousands of impoverished families are struggling with hunger and poverty, making desperate efforts to provide a single meal to save their children from starvation. As winter approaches with its harsh cold, a new worry arises for them: how to gather firewood to warm their homes and families. Many of them, in addition to facing hunger, die from the cold in winter.
In these difficult circumstances, helping one another can be life-saving. By collecting cash and in-kind donations, including warm clothing, food, and firewood, we can bring joy to hearts and offer hope to families.
Let us prove that humanity is still alive by working together to warm the homes of these families.

My name is Mah Begum, and I am from Sayd Khel district in Parwan province. I am a widow; my husband has passed away. I have no guardian, and I am solely responsible for providing for my family. There is no other breadwinner in my household. I go to people’s homes to work in order to earn money. I live in a rented house and have six children. My children are young and cannot work.

Help Mah Begum Who is a Widow overcome the difficulties of life

Hamid has faced some of the hardest challenges life can present. He has lost several of his closest family members and is now the sole provider for a family of six, his children and wife. In addition, he cares for five orphaned children who lost their father in the war in Afghanistan and supports his elderly, ailing mother.
