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

A Ramadan food pack provides a complete month's supply of essential staples for an entire family. Each pack is carefully assembled to include culturally appropriate foods that sustain a family of 5-7 people throughout the blessed month.

What's Inside a Food Pack

  • Rice (10kg) — the staple carbohydrate
  • Flour (10kg) — for bread and chapatis
  • Cooking oil (5 litres)
  • Lentils and beans (5kg)
  • Sugar (2kg) and tea
  • Dates — for breaking the fast
  • Salt, spices, and tomato paste

Contents are adjusted by region to match local dietary needs. Packs in South Asia include different items than those in East Africa. Every pack is delivered Hand2Hand with photographic proof.

The Ripple Effect

When a family receives a food pack, the mother no longer needs to choose between feeding her children and paying for medicine. Children can focus on their studies rather than going hungry. The entire household can observe Ramadan with dignity.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward." (Tirmidhi)

My family had not eaten properly for days. This food pack was an answer to our prayers.
