Afghanistan Crisis Story
In 2021, Afghanistan was plunged into chaos as the Taliban took control, prompting international agencies to withdraw and the economy to collapse. Countless Afghans lost their jobs, and the situation only worsened in the summer of 2022 when an earthquake and flooding destroyed homes and crops. A harsh winter followed, with temperatures dropping below 0°F, leaving many families unprepared. They faced a dire dilemma: should they spend their limited income on fuel for heating, risking starvation, or sacrifice warmth to buy food, risking freezing to death?
Support the Need
In 2023 and 2024, Afghans continue to be faced with a desperate struggle. Countless victims have been forced to flee their home country, many of which have arrived in the USA, seeking asylum with no possibility of government support. This has propelled us forward with a great desire to help the many who find Akron, OH to be their new home.
