Food Aid Distribution
By Elizabeth Appleyard | Program Officer

We wanted to update you on our regular winter food aid program. At one distribution event AIL gave out 120 food-kits to the poor. These families were struggling and starving in cold weather in early winter. Each food-kit contained rice, cooking oil, peas, kidney beans and tomato paste. Poor people are referred to AIL office for this assistance. Many are unemployed but even those with some work find it hard to make ends meet. Some recipients have jobs as night guards and drivers.
We have still working to aid the victims of the recent floods we reported on last time.
Thank you for your support.

Last week saw devastating flooding in 7 provinces of Afghanistan, including Herat. Many lives were lost and thousands of people have lost homes, livelihoods and now are in desperate need of the basics for living.
AIL is working to aid survivors by providing food and clothing and possibly other items, expanding their usual food aid program to meet the needs of this catastrophic event.
Dr. Yacoobi (AIL’s CEO) said, “It is a terrible situation for so many people, especially the poor who have few resources to draw on. They lack family to go to in other areas and have lost what shelter they had. Everyone needs food, water and shelter.”
We are launching a special fundraising effort to aid victims. Can you help?
Thank you.
