A war spanning nearly 4 decades has caused mass hunger in Afghanistan. Over half of the country's population lives below the poverty line, and food insecurity is on the rise, largely due to conflict and insecurity cutting off whole communities from livelihood opportunities. Some 12.5 million people are identified to be severely food insecure.
COVID-19 makes the hunger problem much worse, exacerbating an already grim situation. Because of the virus, the price of food is rising. Due to heavy demands and little supply, prices for items like wheat flour and cooking oil increased by 23%. Additionally, the cost of rice and sugar increased by 12%, more than it was previously valued. With a lockdown in place, most of those who work in Afghanistan's large informal sector are not getting paid, so they have no way to purchase food, especially with the inflated prices.
We at Noble Connection are raising £5000 to feed 100 families this Ramadan.
A £50 donation will help us to purchase 1 food pack to feed a family for the entire month of Ramadan. The food pack will consist of the following:
Please donate generously and share this opportunity with others to get a part in this great cause.
The Prophet Muhammad SAW has said in a famous Hadith:
'Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person' - Tirmidhi
Our trusted team of volunteers on the ground in Afghanistan will ensure every penny is delivered to the most needy and deserving people.
