Summary
The Afghan Institute of Learning is providing drinking water, food and shelter to Afghan refugees and Pakistanis who have lost everything from last year’s earthquake, heavy fighting and now flooding.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
A huge earthquake, fighting, and now flooding have devastated Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. They have no drinking water, food, shelter or schools. AIL is working to give refugees food and water, and re-establish shelter. This fall, AIL will re-open schools for children to begin their education once again.
How will this project solve this problem?
Food, water and shelter- these are the basic necessities of living. AIL will deliver these to the camps near Peshawar and will give hope to families with re-opening school.
Potential Long Term Impact
Our emergency programs provide sustenance for homeless families and educates the women and children for family support.
Project Message
We left our home because of the fighting with nothing. Now we have a tent and a place to sleep but not enough food.
