COVID-19 Relief Packages: Reached 150 families
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more Afghan families were in need of food and basic supplies. With AWAKEN's unique access to rural villages in the Nangarhar province of Eastern Afghanistan, we were able to reach some of the most vulnerable families. We created a targeted fundraiser to provide families with a one-month supply of dried food and sanitation supplies. The relief packages included Rice, Flour, Oil, Sugar, Tea, Beans and sanitation products needed during quarantine.
We raised over $10,000 and were able to reach 150 families in need in the month of May. We are so grateful for your support!
