Your donations are changing lives. Last month, a huge earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan overnight. Tragically, it killed more than 1,000 people, leaving nearly 4,000 people injured and at least 362,000 people in need of humanitarian aid. Since then, thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to help two incredible partners in Afghanistan. Uplift Afghanistan, was able to work with a local organisation, Community Driven Development Organization (CDDO), to deliver packages and other vital non-food items, such as clothes and toiletries, to households affected. Our other partner, The Association of Afghan Healthcare Professionals UK (AAHP-UK) have worked fast to mobilise support to some of the provinces hit hardest. Working with a team of 28 volunteer health professionals, they visited the villages of Zirok and Barmal, helping treat hundreds of injured people. They were also able to distribute 100 food packages to families in the Barmal district, ensuring that people had enough food to eat. Despite these amazing efforts, the effects of this earthquake will be seen for a long time. Our friends in the community tell us there is also concern of further disasters, with up to thirty more shocks being felt across the Paktika region on Monday night, harming yet more people. Please keep donating to help organisations like these continue their essential work. Donation link in our bio.
