Hi! I'm taking on a Kiltwalk to raise funds for Islamic Relief who has inspired me to give something back. Every penny I raise will be topped up by 50% thanks to the generosity of Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation. Any donation you can spare will mean the world to me and Islamic Relief. Thank you! Islamic Relief has been working in Afghanistan for over 20 years. As part of the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC), together our teams on the ground are delivering vital food packs, water storage kits and winter clothing, as well as providing medical care through health centres supporting displaced families. Islamic Relief have distributed 13,061 food packs to the most vulnerable families in Kabul, Nangarhar, Balkh, Bamiyan, and Kapisa provinces. Help us to continue the life-saving work in Afghanistan Millions of Afghans are on the verge of facing a catastrophic famine, and their lives are at stake. Afghanistan is experiencing one of the worst droughts in 27 years, and as a result food, water and supplies are extremely scarce. Furthermore, with a cold winter in Afghanistan and the escalations in the country, many people have needed to leave their homes - which makes the situation more desperate by the day. 22 million people - more than half of the population are facing acute food insecurity in the next three months. Families have resorted to selling anything they have left of value, and tragically, children as young as five are being forced to work for more than twelve hours a day to afford their families a meal. Afghans are being plunged deeper into poverty and as the harsh winter season approaches, there’s even more of a terrifying risk to the lives of millions of Afghans. Without taking action now, there is a real risk of a famine in the next year. We are facing a race against time and funds are rapidly needed to support vulnerable families by providing life-saving aid ahead of winter.
