More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Millions of poor Afghans are in danger of starving during the winters or after natural disasters or displacement because of the lack of food. The situation is acute because they do not have jobs, food or homes elsewhere. The poorest Afghans have no electricity or money for fuel and food. The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) will distribute emergency packets to poor families. $15 will buy an emergency packet for a family of four for a month.
Activities
As funds come in, AIL staff will make packages of food and fuel and deliver them to the neediest families. Packages will be delivered to the poorest families in different sections of Kabul and Herat.

Latest Update from the Field
A Special Giving Opportunity.....
By Sondra Johnson - Hungry Afghan Families Thank You, November 10, 2009 03:45 PM
We wanted to share with you a very special opportunity to give more than 100% from November 10 through December 1st. Please share this with those you know who care. During this time, we are privileged to receive additional matching funds from your donation through Global Giving of at least 30%. The need is still great. Afghanistan struggles to become a country of strength and stability.
Winter is coming to Afghanistan and can be brutal. As reported by the UN, more than 70% of Afghans are food insecure and approximately 8.5 million Afghans are on the verge of starvation. Although the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) works to empower women and other needy Afghans to provide for themselves and is not a direct relief provider ordinarily, AIL does provide food assistance to those who are in the greatest need, particularly in times of emergencies and in the winter. AIL is presently working with villagers to identify those who are the neediest as winter approaches. Your donation will help those who are in extreme crisis and need.
