AIL has always had capacity to respond to emergency situations. AIL’s emergency aid includes food, clothing, cooked meals, blankets and other household goods. The aid goes to people who are suffering from some sort of disaster or adverse weather situation but also to those who are poor and struggle day to day to provide for their families.
In May, AIL distributed 50 sets of clothes to orphan children in Jaghare village, Injil district. The children were delighted to receive new clothes for the Eid celebrations. Food parcels were also distributed to needy families for Eid.
Thank you for your support for the most vulnerable in Afghanistan.

DONATE between April 3-7 Little by Little campaign – Eligible donations up to $50 will be matched at 50% per unique donor per organization. You can donate to CHI and AIL and get match and donate more than $50 but over $50 will not be matched.
Many people are in desperate need of aid in the form of food, clothing and blankets. Afghan winters are harsh and many families live day to day so any further pressure such as bad weather or social or economic turmoil stretches their resources to breaking point.
AIL reaches 10,000 people with food and other aid each year. Most recently 60 disabled and orphaned people received over 1,500 items including food, blankets and clothing. The food parcels included rice, oil, sugar and beans.
AIL staff travelled to a remote small village in the Anjil district on the Nangabad plain outside of Herat and distributed 250 items. The aid included food parcels, meat and warm clothes. The villagers were relieved to receive some help as they were short on food and other supplies. In another outing staff gave out aid to 50 families in a local village.
Thank you for your support.

Recently AIL staff traveled from the head office out to Daikundi Province. This is one of the most deprived areas and lacks facilities. It is a 24 hour walk from Kabul and many of the roads are difficult for vehicles to pass. The people are very poor but eager to learn and improve their lives. AIL provided a series of teacher training seminars, workshops and delivered food aid. The food aid went to 200 of the poorest families. The packages included rice, oil, tea, cucumbers, beans. Families also received shampoo and soap and winter clothing.
Staff met one lady called Ruby who said,” I live in Sukhtuk village, Nili city, Daikundi province. My husband died and I have five children. I am illiterate and my only property is ten chickens. It is a hard life in this corner of the city and in the heart of the Neel Mountains. Every moment my children and I die and come back to life. Some nights my eldest son goes to sleep hungry so that his sister and I can have his bread. As a mother, I cry a lot even when I sleep.”
Food aid makes a huge difference to women like Ruby, who struggle every day to makes ends meet.
Thank you for your support.
