HELLO’s Response
Humanitarian Empowerment & Life Livlihood Organization (HELLO) calls for urgent support for those families whose lives have been affected. This includes the continued and increased support of the refugee exodus and ensuring that the funding flows of aid resume and increase, so that NGOs can continue important development work, as well as delivering the immediate humanitarian assistance that is so urgently needed.
As with previous times of difficulty, HELLO will continue to work alongside local people to help them overcome the challenges they face and prepare for a more peaceful future for the country. Over the past year, we have worked with the UN to help over a thousand families displaced by the conflict and have the expertise to expand this work if the funds are available.
We have opened our offices and started work. Both men and women are back at work and we are delivering both important development work focused on climate change adaptation and improving livelihoods, and emergency assistance. This includes providing:
- emergency shelter and financial support so families can keep a roof over their heads;
- kitchen kits so that they can cook and safely store food;
- hygiene kits including towels, laundry soap and hand soap;
- items such as solar powered lamps, stoves and gas cylinders;
- emergency food parcels;
- Blankets and the support they need to heat their homes and keep their families warm as the winter approaches.
With this support, more families will be able to keep their children safe, clean and healthy, and protect themselves against further risks.
How can you help?
In this difficult time, one thing is clear: we must not forget Afghanistan. Approximately six times the number of people in the country were already in need of humanitarian assistance in 2021 as compared to four years ago. Now, the conditions have worsened. Together, we can make a real difference to these people. Donate today to support families who need it most:
