Starting Point

The fasting month of Ramadan is a time of community, charity and mindfulness. Due to Covid-19 and the resulting restrictions, the communal fast-breaking, which is an important element of Ramadan, is only possible on a very small scale.

As circumstances are different this year, there is another reason to worry: there are no large events happening where the poor and hungry are normally fed. Usually during Ramadan, food is given to those in need, thus many poor and hungry people come together to break their fast. Due to the pandemic, these events were canceled and, as many day-labourers have lost their source of income, the country is threatened by a widespread famine.
Additionally, the sanitary situation in the area continues to worsen.

Our SOLUTION Approach

This year, we have again chosen to support the refugee camp of Ghaibi Baba in Kabul and the 300 families living there. They have been brought to this camp and have left their provinces (e.g. Nangahar, Wardak and Kapisa), which suffer from unrest and turmoil. The living conditions of these internally displaced people are appalling they live in tents or simple huts made of clay. With our packages, we want to make sure that these families can get through Ramadan in these times of exceptional crises.
