About Campaign

Every day, Afghan children are being deported from Iran alongside their families, arriving back in Afghanistan with nothing but the clothes they wear. Many of these young ones have endured long, exhausting journeys, witnessed distressing events, and faced the uncertainty of losing their homes and friends. These experiences can leave deep emotional scars, stealing away the innocence and joy of childhood.

Preserving Childhood for Afghan Kids Deported from Iran aims to bring light back into these children’s lives by providing them with toys and trauma-healing care packages. These packages are thoughtfully designed to help them smile, play, and reconnect with the simple joys of being a child—offering a small but powerful escape from the challenges their families face.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just giving a toy—you’re giving comfort, hope, and a reminder that their happiness matters. You’re helping to protect the spirit of childhood in a time when it’s needed most. Together, we can ensure that even in the face of hardship, these children still have moments to laugh, dream, and feel safe.
