 AFGHANISTAN PROJECT UPDATES

Greater Change is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of people in Afghanistan. In their ongoing efforts to promote social and economic development, Greater Change has undertaken several initiatives to empower the local population and provide them with opportunities for a better future. One of their most recent initiatives involves opening three schools and a sewing/textile location for the people of Afghanistan.

  • Three Schools: Greater Change's commitment to education is exemplified by the opening of three schools in Afghanistan. These schools aim to provide quality education to children and young adults in underserved communities. By offering access to education, Greater Change seeks to empower individuals with knowledge and skills that will enable them to pursue brighter futures. Education is a critical tool in breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering positive social change. Not only does opening schools in Afghanistan have the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of young boys by providing them with education, but it also provides them with safety, and a sense of purpose. Greater Change is aware that it's essential to approach this endeavor with sensitivity, cultural awareness, and a long-term perspective to ensure its success and lasting impact.

  • Sewing/Textile Project: One of the most successful projects we have done is Greater Change's sewing project for Afghan women. It is a significant step towards empowering women in the region to be self-reliant, play an active role in the development of their communities and put food on the table for their families. By focusing on skill-building and income generation, this initiative contributes to broader efforts aimed at improving the social and economic landscape in Afghanistan.

In summary, Greater Change is committed to uplifting the people of Afghanistan through a multifaceted approach that includes providing education, and economic opportunities. By establishing three schools and a sewing business, Greater Change is working to create a brighter future for the Afghan community, fostering resilience, and promoting positive change in a challenging environment.

Herat City Struck by Another Earthquake: A Plea for Help

For those affected, the nightmare continues. Thousands of residents have been living in fear, sleeping outside in tents or makeshift shelters created from blankets and tarps. The very ground beneath them feels treacherous, as aftershocks continue to rock the area. They've been residing there since the first Earthquake on Saturday, enduring sleepless nights filled with the haunting uncertainty of more tremors.

OUR CALL TO ACTION: AS WE WITNESS THE RESILIENCE AND STRENGTH OF THE PEOPLE OF HERAT CITY, OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THEM. THEIR NEED FOR AID IS URGENT AND ONGOING.

In response to this humanitarian crisis we have launched an urgent appeal for donations. The funds collected will be crucial in providing immediate assistance to the affected communities, including emergency medical care, shelter, food, and clean water. Greater Change would like to respond to at least 20 families with a $200 distribution kit, to try and help families as much as possible during this time.

We’re closely monitoring the situation in Afghanistan, and our dedicated logistics team is on the ground, working tirelessly to assess the situation. Our priority is to find the most effective and compassionate ways to assist those affected by these challenging times. Stay tuned for updates on how we can all make a difference together.
