Ali Juma has endured years of immense hardship. As the sole provider for a family of ten, including two disabled children, he has struggled to meet even their most basic needs.
Residing in a rented house on the outskirts of Kabul, Ali’s challenges escalated after losing his job following the collapse of Afghanistan’s previous government. With no stable source of income, he found it nearly impossible to afford food and medical care for his family, leaving him feeling helpless and overwhelmed.
As winter set in, bringing even harsher conditions, The Zahra Trust stepped in to support Ali Juma and 34 other struggling families. They received essential food aid, including staples like rice, cooking oil, pasta, and tea—helping them endure the cold months without the constant fear of hunger.
For Ali Juma’s children, especially his two disabled sons, this aid made a world of difference. It provided not just sustenance but also a renewed sense of security and comfort.
The impact was immediate. With enough food to sustain his family for a month, Ali Juma felt a profound sense of relief. His children, once burdened by malnutrition and uncertainty, could now enjoy regular meals, bringing back their smiles and energy.
“I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff of The Zahra Trust for helping me during these difficult times,” he expressed. “May God reward all the donors who assist the needy people of Afghanistan.”
Ali Juma’s story is a testament to the importance of sustainable humanitarian efforts. While food aid provides crucial short-term relief, long-term solutions such as stable employment, access to healthcare, and ongoing assistance are essential in breaking the cycle of poverty.
Your generosity enables us to do more than just provide meals—it allows us to restore hope, dignity, and stability for families in crisis. With continued support, we can ensure that vulnerable families like Ali Juma’s receive the help they need to survive and rebuild their futures.
