COVID Med Kits for Remote Clinics in Afghanistan
Donation protected
COVID-19 is obviously impacting all the countries in the world; however with its severely underdeveloped healthcare system, Afghanistan is particularly crippled by this pandemic. The ongoing wars, hostilities with groups like the Taliban, as well as the influx of Afghan refugees that have returned from Iran has exhausted the already limited medical resources of the nation. Many Afghans living in remote areas do not have access to any medical clinics, and hospitals are overwhelmed to the increasing number of patients and decreasing frontline health workers.
Our names are Hosna Sahak, Sarah Sadat and Marwa Sadat, and we have started this fundraising initiative to raise money for medical supplies to existing clinics in Afghanistan, sanitization/first-aid kits to impoverished Afghan communities, as well as the implementation of First Aid Posts in remote areas of the country.
The campaign that we are fundraising on behalf is ISHKAR, a fundraiser fundraising for EMERGENCY, an international organisation founded in 1994 to provide free, high-quality medical and surgical care to victims of war, landmines and poverty. EMERGENCY has four centres and remote first aid clinics across Afghanistan and have treated over 7 million patients since 1999. These remote clinics include offering services in prisons and rehabilitation centres, as well as two Kabul orphanages.
What your support can do?
- £5 pays for a day of free meals for one of EMERGENCY’s hospital patients in Afghanistan
- £125 provides a week’s support in one of EMERGENCY’s clinics in Kabul prisons.
- £500 supports one month’s support in one of EMERGENCY’s clinics in Kabul prisons
- £2,500 will fully run a First Aid Post in Afghanistan for a month, providing treatment even to the most remote areas of Afghanistan.
During this time of hardship, we all need to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate. Please contribute anything you can to this initiative as all efforts are valued!
