LATEST NEWS

Thousands in Kabul are trying to survive a severe winter in displaced persons camps without heat or electricity. Children are dying. The Aschiana Foundation responded immediately with distribution of clothing, blankets and food, but the need is still great. Items have been shipped by military air on a space available basis but because of the high cost of shipping, the most effective way to help is with a donation to purchase these readily available items on the local market. Thank you for your compassion and willingness to help save lives during this crisis. Read the latest report under Aschiana in the News.

OUR COMMITMENT

Afghanistan children 2011

After more than 25 years of war and conflict, there are an estimated 600,000 working street children in Afghanistan. These children are girls and boys between the ages of five and sixteen years old. They make a bare livelihood, working and scavenging on the streets.

Their work often provides the only means of support for their families. They often have only a piece of bread a day and little chance to go to school. Many have lost one or both parents during the many years of conflict in Afghanistan.

Aschiana provides them with hope and a better life. This grassroots program offers them food, healthcare, literacy and vocational training.

The Aschiana Foundation in the United States provides financial assistance to Aschiana to help it provide educational and humanitarian programs that benefit working street children in Afghanistan.
