URGENT : Panjshir Valley Humanitarian Crisis

Afghanistan’s Panjshir valley is in crisis. Families are trapped inside the narrow valley without enough food or medical supplies, and cut off from the outside world as the conflict in the region continues.

As we continue to do what we can on the ground we are making an appeal for international intervention from global NGO’s to assist us reach more people in need of our help.
We can’t do this alone.
We need your help.

BBC World interview with Mahboba Rawi on 08/09/2021

Mahboba’s Promise have a strong presence in Panjshir Valley and look after a community of over 1,000 widows, children, orphans and vulnerable families.

We have responded to this urgent crisis immediately and have activated our local team in Panjshir Valley to look after the mounting displacement of residents by offering shelter , food and water and by delivering food and supplies to those at homes but with no access to basic needs. Our supplies are limited and we need international support to sustain our activity in this region.

This trivia and games night presented to you by the MCSS is a response to the dire situation in Afghanistan right now. 
 
The MCSS alongside the community sub-committee, got together and started this appeal. 
 
Even though this trivia and games night is over, donations can still be made!
 
Join us in making a difference in the lives of those most affected by the humanitarian crisis now unfolding in Afghanistan. 
 
Every little bit helps. 
 
Thank you!

Our staff and volunteers are all local in Afghanistan. This is our home and these are our people. We are preparing for the worst. But continue to fight for a brighter tomorrow.

The UN estimates 1.25m people have been displaced and numbers increase daily.

We are focusing our efforts on the needs of the 900+  families that have set up camp outside Kabul and the Panjshir Valley community who have no access to food and basic needs. The number of displaced orphans, widows and families grows daily.

We have activated our response in Panshjir valley after the devastating news of the attack on September 5th. We are supplying food and basic needs to a community of over 1,000 people that we look after in this region. This number continues to grow.

We are currently supporting 900+ displaced families who have set up in the camp outside Kabul close to our orphanage. We are on the ground, providing emergency shelter, food and water parcels, medical and hygiene essentials, water tanks, clothing and other emergency items.

We are actively relocating families, widows and children to safer regions and providing safe passage for some to return to extended family in their hometowns.

Our Hope Houses continue to provide refuge and safety to ensure our orphans are protected and out of harm’s way.

There are many still in imminent danger and in need of our immediate assistance. The situation is volatile and changes daily. Our response is dynamic as we react to people’s needs as every day unfolds.

We urgently need your help to scale up our supplies, resources, manpower, security and transport as the situation worsens.

Your donations to our Emergency Relief Fund will make an immediate impact

Our target is $2 million
