Surviving Winter in Afghanistan

With winter approaching, we would like to equip families living in impoverished areas of Afghanistan with the resources to withstand the country's harsh living conditions. If we can save even one child, we have reached our goal. In collaboration with UC Berkeley's Afghan Student Association and Panah Charity Foundation, we are holding a Winter Drive for Afghanistan and would love your support! Your donations will not only bring warmth to underserved communities, but it will also strengthen the country's economy by supporting local businesses.

Local Partners, Needy Families

Panah Charity Foundation will use your donations to buy winter items from local vendors in Afghanistan and distribute them to needy families and at-risk individuals. Please donate through this LaunchGood campaign - every bit helps! All proceeds will go toward purchasing clothes such as warm sweaters, scarves, boots, etc. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and will be tax-deductible. Thank you all in advance for your support!

About Panah Charity Foundation

Panah Charity helps the helpless! This foundation was founded in California in May of 2010 by Rokhshana Benish and it has expanded significantly within the last three and half years. Since the establishment, thousands of needy families have received help from Panah Charity via different projects. Panah Charity's main goal is to help families become self-sufficient and stand on their own feet. This foundation has helped hundreds of poor men and women to have regular earnings and provide for their families. To expand the Self-Sufficiency programs further, Panah Charity has built five vocational workshops so far throughout Kabul. Next to self-sufficiency programs Panah Charity has other excellent humanitarian programs to support poor families; providing heating supplies in the cold freezing winter in one of the programs. Just last year alone this foundation provided heating supplies to over 1,000 families to keep them warm throughout the winter. Also, Panah Charity builds water wells, provides food supplies in the holy month of Ramadan, performs Qurbani's, and finds sponsorship for disabled families.
