About Afghanistan

Afghanistan faces severe economic collapse following the political transition, with banking sanctions, frozen assets, and international isolation devastating an already fragile economy. Over 28 million people — two-thirds of the population — need humanitarian assistance, making it one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. Restrictions on women's education and employment have removed critical household income and denied girls access to schooling beyond primary level. The healthcare system has largely collapsed, with many facilities closed or operating without essential supplies. Harsh winters claim lives among displaced families living in tents and makeshift shelters without heating. Drought conditions have destroyed agricultural livelihoods in rural areas, while urban poverty has surged as the economy contracts. Despite the complex operating environment, our established Afghan partner organisations navigate current constraints to deliver food packs, emergency supplies, and humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable families.

Delivery Method: We work with established Afghan organizations who navigate the complex operating environment.

Why This Matters

Millions of families worldwide live in makeshift shelters — tents, corrugated iron shacks, or damaged buildings without roofs or walls. A permanent home transforms everything: children can study, families stay warm in winter, and dignity is restored.

For £2,500, we build a complete two-room home with a kitchen area, bathroom facilities, and proper roofing. Each home is constructed using durable local materials and is designed to withstand local weather conditions.

What Your Home Includes

  • Two-room structure with solid walls and roof
  • Kitchen area with basic facilities
  • Bathroom and sanitation
  • Doors, windows, and basic furnishing
  • Built to local standards for durability

Building a home is a powerful form of Sadaqah Jariyah — the family will benefit for decades, and you continue earning rewards for as long as the home stands.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." (Bukhari) — Scholars extend this principle to building homes for those in need.
