How to help Afghanistan amid crisis ?

Afganistan's daily life has taken a turn after the fall of Kabul the capital city of Afghanistan. As the president, Ashraf Ghani fled the country amidst the chaos, the Taliban has taken over the country. Many civilians are fearing violence at the hands of the Taliban. The heartbreaking photos of  Afghan's attempting to leave the country and its sorrow behind made frontlines in many International newspapers.

Taliban taking over the country has affected the lives of hundreds and thousands of civilians. Most of them are desperately searching for a way out of the country before the suspected violence unveils. A day after the power transmission, a series of unfortunate events from chaos at the airport to people falling from the sky has marked that day as one of the darkest days in Afghan history. 

Why your help is essential?

                 - Already, 550,000 people are displaced from the conflict this year. 80% of them are women and children.

                - Nearly, 18 million people in Afghanistan require humanitarian aid.
