Aseel's DirectAid Beta builds on Aseel's decentralized aid platform, which has served over 500,000 individuals since August 2021. It introduces Omid ID Cards for accurate beneficiary identification, the Atalan Network for on-the-ground support, and transparency via video documentation and emails. The process involves Send Aid, Track Aid, and receiving a distribution video for donors to witness the impact of their contribution.

It typically takes 12 to 48 working hours for the Atalan team to deliver an emergency package to the designated Omid ID holder across Afghanistan. However, the delivery can take longer sometimes due to unpredictable circumstances outside Aseel and Atalan's control.

Aseel charges a flat fee of 10% of the package's price for each delivery.

There are multiple emergency packages available that can be donated under the DirectAid Beta. The packages include a Large Family Food Package, an Emergency Small Food Package, an Emergency Package for Child, an Emergency Food Package, an Emergency Baby Care Package, and Donate and Let Aseel Decide. Other packages will be added to the DirectAid packages based on the need. For instance, the Emergency Winter Package will be added in winter.

You'll receive a series of emails to inform you about your aid package's status. These emails cover the preparation, pickup, delivery, and completion stages, ensuring you are continuously updated.

Aseel launched its Aseel Emergency Response to allow people inside and outside Afghanistan to purchase necessary aid packages for needy families. These packages include emergency food, baby care, life, first-aid, and winter packages. The platform also allows people to donate a certain amount of money so Aseel can purchase the packages that war-affected people need inside Afghanistan. Aseel has active teams of heroes in 24 provinces identifying and assisting beneficiaries in need. Anyone anywhere in the world can download the Aseel iOS and Android mobile applications or go straight to the Aseel website to contribute to Aseel Emergency Response or directly support families.

You need to enter the first and last name, province and district the family is living in, and at least one active phone number. You will also need to put an order number while filling out the beneficiary form. Also, your information, such as your first name, last name, phone number, and email address, is necessary to receive updates, or we can contact you when an issue arises.

In Kabul, Aseel delivers the package between 24 to 48 hours, while in provinces, it can take up to three business days.

All Emergency Response Food Packages are delivered by Aseel Atalan. Aseel only shares the name, location, phone number, and Omid ID with the Atalan to do a successful delivery. This information is strictly confidential with the Atalan and is in no way shared with third parties.

Aseel, through its Emergency Response platform, has helped more than 300K individuals identified and verified by donors and Aseel Atalan - a network of local heroes. Aseel allows donors to donate ER package(s) to their pre-designated family using the "Aseel beneficiary forms." The donor purchases the package(s), fills out the beneficiary form, and then Aseel delivers these packages to those families. In addition, donors can donate ER package(s) to vulnerable families whose eligibility is verified by Atalan. Eligible families for assistance include disaster-impacted families, single-breadwinner families, non-breadwinner families, female-led families, widows, day laborers, unemployed people, orphans, street children, and people with severe illnesses.
