BACKGROUND.

Afghanistan has one of the largest populations per capita of persons with disabilities in the world. At least one in five Afghan households includes an adult or child with a serious physical, sensory, intellectual, or psychosocial disability. More than 40 years of war have left more than one million Afghans with amputated limbs and other mobility, visual, or hearing disabilities. Many Afghans have psychosocial disabilities (mental health conditions) such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, which are often a direct result of the protracted conflict. Other Afghans have pre-existing disabilities not directly related to the conflict, such as those caused by polio.

Our first container of over 500 mobility and disability aids was distributed in February 2023. Such is the plight of disabled people in need in the country we are determined to make such they are not continued to be forgotten - which has been the case through over 40 years of internal strife. If we did not recyle them the majority of them would have ended up in landfill. Doing the right thing is a win-win solution for all. For example many of the recipients can only dream of accessing a wheelchair and have lived an entire lifetime in a state of lockdown.

We want to build on the momentum. During the blessed month of Ramadan in particular we are calling for donations in the form of Zakat, Sadaqa, Sadaqa Jariyah and general donations from people of all faiths and non.

If we exceed our fundraising target - the donations simply go to the next container project. Alternatively it can used to give some financial support for the end recipients to fulfil their lives through education or employment or rest-bite from their daily struggles to survive - food packs.

Please note that Wheels to Heal is small grassroots U.K. registered volunteer led charity making a big impact overseas.

Our objectives are both environmental and humanitarian. We rescue mobility and disability aids from landfill, or offer an emotional legacy for those wishing to donate their aids through a FREE quarterly uplift service covering the whole of mainland U.K. Over 24,000 life transforming aids have been put back into use to date. This equates to over thirty 40ftHC containers and 14 countries reached (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Gambia, Ghana, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine, Malawi, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Uganda, and Yemen).

Our work has been recognised by as a finalist at the Just Giving Awards - Change Maker of the Year category, Awarded the British Citizens Media for International Achievement, and most recently by the UK Governments Points of Light award for people who are making a change in their community.
