Help Improve Hygiene of Afghan Street Children

CPD is cordially thankful to all the prestigious donors for their continuous support to the project “Help Improve Hygiene of Afghan Street Children” especially in the difficult times of coronavirus and now, during the socio-political power shift in Afghanistan. During this challenging period of time, we had been concerned of the future of our social development and empowerment programs and were regularly observing the situation. Unfortunately, situation of Afghan street children has been further deteriorated including their hygienic practices. This is the fourth report of this crowd-funding project. The project was registered in the unprecedented times of coronavirus and therefore, has not met its initial milestones yet. 

Considering the current context of Afghanistan, our decision is to keep the project active and have the alternative of project amendment in need. CPD’s focus has shifted to ensure sustainability of nurtured organizational human resources and systems and established network of volunteers, who were effectively engaged in social development and empowerment programs for years. At the moment, CPD aims to support the institutional hub and community volunteers to the extent possible in order to smoothly reorganize it, once the socio-political situation gets improved.

We, the team CPD, are looking forward to your generous support during these critical times. Afghans suffer extreme financial problems due to severe shortfall in economic activities and financial restrictions enforced on Afghanistan by the international community. Financial restriction and freezing reserve funds of Afghanistan have directly affected the people and contributed to nation-wide food insecurity and paralyzing public service delivery throughout the country. All these have unfortunately deprioritized social change development programs including our project aimed at improving hygiene of Afghan street children in Kabul city. As we reported earlier, COVID-19 and insecurity incidents by IS-KP were also preventing implementation of social change programs; the latter is still a main threat. Please refer to our past reports for details. In such a scenario, priority comes to survive the organization and the minimum level of its operations until the situation gets improved. 

Taking all these challenges into account, CPD has prioritized supporting its team members and volunteers to overcome such unprecedented situation through cash aid, and distribution of food packages and COVID-19 prevention kits. We will continue this intervention until the problems get solved and it is not possible without your generosity to financially supporting our cause.
