About Campaign
Afghanistan is home to millions of children, most of whom have been reported to be acutely malnourished.
Herat is one of the second most populated provinces in Afghanistan and has been severely affected by a significant number of underweight babies. Mothers are bringing their little ones from all over Herat to the regional hospital daily with various cases of malnourishment to seek help for their precious ones.
Every day hundreds of babies are starving and dying. The hospital is cramped and lacking supplies. This is why we will be collaborating with Aseel with the help of their team and Osman Khayyam, who will be helping them with milk pack distribution in Herat's Regional Hospital.
We will provide the children with high-calorie therapeutic milk. With your generous contribution, you will help save babies in Herat, Afghanistan, and boost their immune systems.
No babies in Herat will be left behind at Herat Regional Hospital. Please spread the word, get involved, and donate.
