About Campaign
During Ramadan, we want to send our love & care to Afghanistan, where poverty, hunger, and unemployment have risen exponentially since the fall of 2021. Twenty-four million people are in a humanitarian food crisis. Ten million children face acute hunger and starvation due to severe drought and political turmoil.
As a group of Afghans and non-Afghans, we have decided to join forces with Aseel to support families faced with this unprecedented emergency.
In this campaign, we aim to raise funds and focus on the province of Badakhshan, where immediate food insecurity is at its greatest at the moment.
Your care, love, and generous pledge will help secure the lives of the most vulnerable women, men, and children in our global community.
Thank you for your generosity in this month of reflection, care, and solidarity.

Zalmaï Levrat Sherzad
My name is Zalmaï. I grew up in New York City. My mother is Afghan, and my father is Swiss. I had the chance to go to Kabul for the first time when I was eight years old and stayed for two years as my parents were working there. I am now 24 and haven’t been back in more than ten years. It is my dream to go back to Afghanistan and reconnect with my heritage. I watch from far the struggles of this misunderstood place which the television and news show only the tragic side. I miss the beautiful smiles and generous hearts of the Afghan people. This is my feeling from a distance, and many around the world are connected with the beautiful country of Afghanistan and see the difficulties happening there. This campaign is a way of uniting and sharing with the Afghan people in need during this Ramadan.
