Every Child Deserves the Chance to Dream
Meet Ahmad Jawed, a young boy who dreams of becoming a successful businessman and a skilled Qur’an reciter. Through its Orphan Sponsorship Programme (OSP), Islamic Relief is helping him continue his education and work towards his dreams.
Before receiving support, his family struggled to pay his school fees and buy educational supplies. His mother often had to borrow money to cover these expenses.
“Now, the assistance helps us pay his school fees and buy the school supplies he needs. We no longer worry as much about these expenses, and this support has brought relief and peace of mind to our family,” says Ahmad Jawed’s mother.

Islamic Relief Afghanistan is supporting 1,500 farmers in Bamyan and Kandahar provinces, providing each farmer with a wheelbarrow, sprayer pump, rake, pickaxe, shovel, fork/pruning saw, hoe, and a pair of protective rubber boots.
These essential tools will help farmers work more safely and efficiently, improve productivity, and transport crops and agricultural materials more easily.
We sincerely thank @IRCanada and @IslamicReliefUK for their generous support to farmers in Afghanistan.
Islamic Relief Afghanistan with the support of @IslamicReliefDE Relief Deutschland is supporting vulnerable families in Balkh and Kabul provinces to build more secure futures.
Through Business Development and Livestock Training, combined with cash assistance, families are gaining the skills and resources they need to start or strengthen small businesses such as tailoring, grocery shops, and other income-generating activities.
By investing in skills, livelihoods, and self-reliance, we are helping families create sustainable sources of income and better provide for their families.

In Afghanistan, many families, especially women and children, struggle to access basic healthcare. With support from @IslamicReliefAu , essential health services are reaching communities in Kabul, Nangarhar, and Zabul.
“During the mothers’ awareness sessions, we learn about hygiene, nutritious food, breastfeeding, and how to keep our children healthy. Thank you for all your valuable services,” says one mother.
Services include outpatient care, maternal and child health, nutrition support, mental health and psychosocial support, and health awareness sessions.
