Rise for Afghanistan #SaveAfghaniChildren # StrongerTogether
, GLOBAL WOMENS EMPOWERMENT NETWORKIn the current chaos in Afghanistan we are making direct efforts in areas of Kabul where people are suffering in great numbers. Our volunteers on the ground are identifying women, children and older people who are left without any surviving bread winners.
Nearly half of Afghanistan’s population lives below the poverty line, many of them being orphaned children who have no income at all. The situation is so dire that Afghanistan is the second poorest country in the world. Decades of ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of causalities, leaving over 1.6 million children orphaned and millions of parents widowed. With over 50% of the population living in extreme poverty, loss of life plunges millions of families further into poverty with no visible way out.
Help us help with basic needs on the ground, it is not easy in the current prevalent scenario but try we must. We are stronger together.
