Parwan and Panjshir provinces in Afghanistan were recently hit by massive flash floods and mudslides. Over 100 people have lost their lives, many of them children, and many more are still missing. An estimated 2000 people have lost their homes, their crops, and their livelihoods. Schools, houses, and shops that had taken extensive time to build have been wiped away in one night, leaving residents with nowhere left to call home.

The suffering these people have experienced is unmatched. Not knowing where they will sleep tonight or if they’ll have anything to eat are both serious concerns this disaster has caused. The most vulnerable in these communities, such as widows and orphans, have been left in urgent need of food, water, shelter and relief.

With your generous donations raised so far, Mahboba’s Promise has provided essential food packs for 100 families, each including cooking oil, rice, peas, beans, potato, onion, and drinking water. Mahboba’s Promise has also taken steps to improve the wellbeing of the affected children; providing them with psychological counselling and engaging them in arts and crafts activities with each child receiving care packs containing drawing notebooks, pens, pencils, cookies, and toys.

Mahboba’s Promise needs your ongoing support in order to provide food, clothing, and basic supplies to those affected by this devastating event. These people have lost everything including their houses, livestock, and land, and our teams have been mobilized on ground in affected areas for relief efforts and community assistance. Without your support, Mahboba’s Promise will not be able to extend the support that is so desperately needed. Please help those most impacted by the floods and support those in crisis to rebuild their lives.
