## Our History 

Aryana Aid was established in the UK in 2009, to support Afghans fleeing war in their country following the invasion of  the then Soviet Union. 


overlooked areas and our first-hand experience of local communities gives us valuable insight into where our help is needed most. Aryana Aid can reach areas other charities might not. Our Kabul office is able to work more closely with the Afghan communities. 

We have since become one of the longest-serving and most widely respected non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Afghanistan. Today, our dedicated charitable workers operate in some of the most remote and inaccessible areas of Afghanistan, supporting thousands of deprived, excluded and vulnerable families. 

Today, we continue to strengthen our network of offices across the country and meet the needs of families facing the greatest hardship. At least 10 million people are thought to have fled the region to avoid the constant wave of conflict that has troubled Afghanistan over the last 40 years, we aim to help these people rebuild their lives though the gift of renewed hope for a brighter future. 

Aryana Aid also provides humanitarian relief for Afghan refugees in Pakistan, we deliver emergency aid and long-term sustainability projects to poor communities in the region, from orphan sponsorships and widow skills training programs to providing vital resources such as food provisions, medical supplies, disability support to war victim children and making water more 

accessible to the needy.  In 2009 Aryana Aid was registered as an NGO in Afghanistan and began work throughout the country, from humanitarian relief to people centred development.What makes us different?  Our extensive knowledge of the country’s most

## **Basic Services** 

Includes education to orphans, installing water sanitation system to give villagers access to clean water, arranging medical health camps, giving shelter to children of the street, feeding the hungry, provide disability support to children and emergency response. 

## **Improved Livelihoods** 

Providing skill training to Afghan women especially for women who lost their husbands in war. 

## **Emergency Humanitarian Relief** 

## Our Projects 

Along with providing support during disasters, we also work with communities to assess hazards and find ways to mitigate the impact of future disasters. When disasters do occur, Aryana Aid responds directly by providing food, clean water, emergency shelter and sanitation services to affected communities. We then support communities in their efforts to recover: to rebuild homes, restore land and create the infrastructure for sustainable livelihoods. 

We support Afghans in three principle ways: Providing basic services, improving livelihoods, education to orphans, helping children with disability and poverty, as well as responding to emergencies and mitigating the risk of disaster.

I am also immensely thankful to the expanding and dedicated team of supporters in the UK and around the world, who in 2020 participated in a variety of challenges to raise awareness about the needs of vulnerable Afghan communities and a special thanks go to our organising committee. 

The world has been gripped by COVID-19, and the number of cases in Afghanistan has mounted rapidly. In a country _Our medical_ where people are struggling _camp and_ with deep seated poverty, long-running conflict and an _women_ extremely fragile health system, _empowerment_ the prognosis is dire.

I believe 

Assalamu’Alaikum [Peace and Blessings of God Be Upon You].This past year saw the 40th anniversary since conflict began in Afghanistan, four decades of untold hardship and the loss of hope to millions of generous, caring and ambitious people. 

In terms of the lives and opportunities lost, the infrastructure destroyed as well as the economic and ecological degradation caused, no country has suffered more or for so long. However this past year there was a ray of hope, as the USA and the Taliban opposition signed a peace deal, opening the way for further dialogue between the elected government of Afghanistan and the Taliban. The people of Afghanistan dare to hope that a lasting peace can be reached. 

we are well prepared to continue assisting the communities we serve through the challenging time ahead. 

In this annual report, we highlight our work in bringing clean water sanitation, supporting disabled children with wheelchairs, sponsoring orphans, widows, feeding the poor and sheltering displaced refugee families in rural communities across Afghanistan. Our medical camp and women empowerment programs made a huge difference and we intend to invest more in education, livelihoods and improving people’s quality of life. 

Meanwhile, putting the interests of the communities we serve at the heart of our work, we continued to implement our programs as well as responding to climatic and conflict-induced humanitarian crises when they arose. Through the year we served thousands of Afghans across five provinces, thousands benefited from our programs, we continued to protect the rights of children, widows and gave relief to their pain suffered during the war. Despite increasing challenges that NGOs are facing  in Afghanistan, I am grateful for the determination and resilience our field volunteers and board of trustees have shown in ensuring remote communities have both a clear voice and fair access to the services we 

I hope you enjoy reading about our year of accomplishments and of the lasting impact that we have been able to make together. 

Yours Sincerely,

## Orphan Sponsorship 

**In Islam orphans hold a very important and dear place in our hearts. Allah’s (swt) will is for us to protect, feed and give them access to education.** 

## **RAMADAN WINTER EMERGENCY PROJECT PACK SHELTER** Supported 375 families Supported 145 families Supported 96 families

By working with war orphans, we can steer vulnerable children away from the very worst options, towards a life which offers more hope to them and to the people they interact with.

At their age, children should play, learn and live in harmonious families, not worry about money. Many schools have been destroyed by extremists, but Afghan children are still willing to learn and crowd in small tent classrooms to seek knowledge. 

Unfortunately, many Afghan children live in an unstable reality, where they have to go to work at a very young age to help themselves and their families. These children not only miss out on their education, but also on their childhoods. 

After four decades of war, how are Afghan children doing today? Afghanistan has the highest child

## **Farozan’s** STORY 

Farozan is 9 years old and from Ghazni, Afghanistan. 

She was orphaned at the age of 6, Farozan’s mother struggled hard to provide for her five children with a meagre income from baking bread in a bakery. Farozan could not to go school as her mother could not afford to give her an education. 

Under Aryana Aid’s Orphaned Children Education Program, Farozan was able to re-enrol at school. Farozan said; ‘When I was sick a few months ago, I had no one to take care of me, however one person from Aryana Aid’s team in Kabul took me to the hospital and the doctor checked me and informed us that I had Hepatitis B. He said that if I did not receive treatment and medications regularly I would lose my life. I took the medication and recovered, so I am proud of the Aryana Aid team, they helped and it really means a lot to me.’ Farozan would like to become a doctor and be independent, she feels she can reach this goal with the continued support from Aryana Aid and her sponsor. 

## **Please help and sponsor a child like Farozan today.** 

Our primary aim is to empower the families of these children and ensure they can send them to school, support their optimal growth, and teach them to carve out a better future for themselves. Many of these children have high ambitions and dream of becoming the next generation of doctors, nurses and lawyers. Together, we can help these innocent souls revive their childhoods and protect them from abuse. 

Help us create a warm, caring environment for Afghan children that have lost their parents to war, hunger, and disease. Become an agent of change. Help provide hope for Afghan orphans who deserve better futures. 

The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said “Blessed is the wealth of the Muslim, from which he gives to the poor, the orphan and the wayfarer” MUSLIM 

## **Why sponsor an orphan?** 

There are 2 million orphans in Afghanistan many don’t even know their date of birth, they have no birth certificate and have lost track of their extended families. Over 600,000 children are forced to sleep on the street, in dangerous conditions and harsh weather. Through your sponsorship with Aryana Aid, you can change the lives of these orphans and contribute to their more prosperous futures. 

Orphan sponsorship is regarded as a Sunnah and becomes a great form of Sadaqah Jariyah (continuing charity), which brings many blessings both in the lives of the beneficiaries and those of the givers. 

## **How To Help** 

Since 2009 Aryana Aid has been supporting orphans in Afghanistan and Pakistan by establishing and running schools and orphanages, providing nurturing homes for children, and developing long-term education programmes. With your help and our local knowledge, we have been able to provide aid to hundreds of orphans from overlooked areas in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Without your Zakat, they could have been forgotten. 

## **Your Zakat provides orphans with** 

- **Warm Meals** 

- **Clothes** 

- **Healthcare** 

- **Education & Accommodation** 

We are working together to develop quality education, social enterprise and long lasting community transformation in Afghanistan.

## Emergency Shelter 

## **Protecting homeless widows & orphans** 

lack of jobs in Afghanistan makes it hard for the returning refugees to earn a living, which often leaves them dependent on government help and emergency housing. 

And, when resources are already scarce, they have to sleep outside in temperatures below -25° in winter, risking their lives every day. 

The global pandemic is spreading fast in refugee camps 

Help us provide emergency shelter, winter clothing, fuel and food to thousands of homeless refugees in Afghanistan. The ongoing war in Afghanistan has been forcing people to leave the security of their homes and abandon their families. Upon their return, they deserve a safe sanctuary. Now with the added risk of a global pandemic spreading fast in refugee camps, we appeal to you to help the people who had to leave everything behind survive one of the roughest years ahead. 

## **How your sadaqah gives them shelter** 

The population of Kabul has tripled in the last seven years, being the fifth fastest-growing city in the world. As a consequence, the government’s land allocation scheme has already put thousands of families on the waiting list. 

## **Winter for displaced refugees** 

100% Makeshift camps have been created to Donation ‘house’ the homeless, but many refugees Policy choose to settle on mountain ranges and areas outside the official camps, where the winters are so harsh that an emergency response is often needed to prevent casualties. 

According to UNHCR, nearly 5.7 million refugees have returned to Afghanistan over the last decade. Unfortunately, the

Since 2009, your Sadaqah has helped Aryana Aid supply tents, winter clothing, winter food and fuel to desperate Afghan families. We have also purchased resettlement land for those most in need. 

The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said _“Whoever grants respite to someone in difficulty or relieves them, Allah (swt) will shade them on the Day of Resurrection when there is no shade but His”_ [Tirmidhi] 

## **Zarmina’s** STORY 

Afghanistan has the second highest number of internally displaced refugees in the world. For them, winter is one of the most dangerous seasons. Many refugee families live in improvised tents that can barely stand the trials of harsh weather, turning refugee camps into a hotbed for disease in the COVID-19 era. 

## Zarmina a 42 year old mother of five children lost everything in the floods. 

An enormous wave of water rushed down the mountains and Zarmina fled with her family to a neighbour’s house and returned to their home the next morning. Everything, all her possessions in this world had vanished. Consequently Zarmina was forced to move with her family to a temporary shelter which had two small rooms, no toilet and was shared by more than 20 people. 

The most vulnerable in winter are orphans and widows. Afghanistan is home to 2 million orphans and nearly 2 million widows, many are forced to sleep on the street due to lack of accommodation. 

Months went by with Zarmina having flashbacks about the floods and worrying about how her family would cope with the coming winter. Aryana Aid began assists families like Zarmina to build homes with stronger foundations. 

Aryana Aid is on the ground helping thousands of orphans, widows and refugee families with life-saving food, fuel, emergency shelter and warm blankets. For the past 11 years, your generous donations to our emergency shelter project has kept these displaced families safe in sub-zero temperatures. 

Zarmina spoke with our team about this new chapter in her life: ‘I am so relieved to be waking up in my own home. My children are warm and my nightmares have passed. Life will get better now that I have a roof over my head and a floor under my feet, Alhamdu’Lillah. 

_**Thank you to my brothers and sisters who made this possible, I will keep you in my prayers.’**_

## Micro Business PROGRAM 

## **Empowering widows towards economic independence** 

They have to sleep outside in temperatures below -25° in winter, risking their lives every _day_ 

In Afghanistan, 57% of girls are forced to marry before they turn 16, which means most of them are not schooled or trained for vocational work outside the family home, leaving them more vulnerable after the death of the male breadwinner. Giving them access to important life skills such as sewing, embroidery and business prowess helps these women advance economically and provide for their children safely. 

Decades of war in Afghanistan have left thousands of widows. Aryana Aid works in rural communities to promote economic and social well-being for the poor, innocent women left without an income or family support following the death of a husband. 

more children on average, but their strength and tenacity prove they are more than capable to do so in the right context and with the appropriate help. 

Losing a husband is traumatic enough, but many widows in Afghanistan are also left to fend for themselves and their children with no support. Together, we can give them new life skills. 

Although there is more work available in urban areas, most of the job opportunities are not for unskilled women, which means many widows end up doing menial work, begging or in extreme cases selling their bodies to support themselves and their young children. Some even attempt suicide because they are unable to cope with their circumstances. But this can be avoided with support. 

## **Why Sponsor a Widow in Afghanistan?** 

Through access to important life skills such as sewing and business development, we give women independence. When we hear the word ‘widow’, many of us imagine a mature woman. But a high number of Afghan widows are not even in their 20’s. 

In 2019 official reports estimated there are almost 2 million widows in Afghanistan, one of the highest rates in the world. Young or mature, they all struggle to support families of four or

## **Hajira’s STORY** 

## **How Your Donations Help** 

## **At our training centre we:** 

- Empower women financially 

Hajira is a 27 year old widow, she has four child dependents, her husband was killed in a road side bomb blast in Ghazni, Afghanistan. 

- Give widows a safe learning space 

- Give them the skills they need to find qualified work 

- Teach them about women’s rights and how to fight exploitation at work 

‘There is no support available for women like me, it was hard for me to beg on the street. I felt that people didn’t really care about me and my orphaned children, we had very hard days, sometimes we only had one meal and I became very depressed and anxious about my children. One of my friends informed me about the Aryana Aid women empowerment program and I approached their Kabul office and explained about my situation. 

## **Humanity Needs Sustainable Solutions** 

Thanks to your donations dozens of widows aged between 20 and 45 are currently enrolled in our free classes taught by salaried teachers. Many of our widows will then go on to either find qualified work or open their own micro-businesses, leading to a sustainable line of work and a stable home environment for their children. 

Things started to change when I was offered a place at the Aryana Aid training centre. They are also helping my children who now go to school. With their help I have developed tailoring skills after the completion of a 12 month course. 

They provide graduates with a complete sewing machine, I can now find work or work from home for myself. I enjoy going to the centre and feel more secure about our future.’ 

Our training centres provide widows with the necessary skills, knowledge and training that they need to find semi-skilled work or to set up micro businesses. We also provide advice about avoiding exploitation from dishonest employers and customers.

mately 5 million Afghans with little or no access to food. But, with the will of Allah (swt), we have put your Zakat and Sadaqah donations to good use, our team have been supplying emergency food packs to the poor and hungry in Afghanistan since 2009. 

Afghan children under 5 have one of the highest rates of malnourishment in the world: 

- **72% suffer from key micro-nutrient deficiency** 

- **54% are chronically malnourished** 

Aryana Aid have been providing locally sourced rice, flour, tea, sugar, cooking oil and meat to the most vulnerable Muslim communities in the region. Last year we distributed food pack to hundreds of families in need. Your donations ensure we can continue to feed these families, so they can regain their powers, revive their cultures and in time stop resorting to illegal or dangerous activities in order to earn a living. 

- **34% are underweight** 

Wages of ordinary Afghans no longer cover essential food items and the problem is even worse for those living in rural areas. The fact that Afghanistan’s economy still relies on opium production means local farmers have little incentive to produce more food, since they are more likely to make a living from the opium trade than agriculture.Three consecutive years of drought and economic issues have left approxi- 


## **Abdullah’s** STORY 

Abdullah is a business owner and Aryana Aid volunteer, he explains: ‘Food shortages in Afghanistan are hurting the weak and vulnerable. 

I volunteered with the WHO (World Health Organisation) before I joined Aryana Aid and witnessed first-hand the impact of the rising food prices on the health of ordinary Afghans. Aryana Aid works closely with local people to address the worse cases of malnutrition, we also buy food from local vendors to reduce our costs and stimulate local trade.’

The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said _‘The best form of charity is to give someone water (to drink).’_ 

IBN MAJAH 

# Providing Water for Life 

The gift of water is amongst the best of charities. We work with local engineers to install affordable water systems and save Afghan communities from water contamination leading to severe dehydration, disease and at its worst death. 

**What causes water scarcity in Afghanistan?** 

Water scarcity is a bigger threat in Afghanistan than war. The water crisis figures are one the worst amongst Asian countries, with only 27% of the Afghan population having access to safe drinking water and 37% use sanitation facilities (UNAMA). In rural areas, 96% of the inhabitants still rely on unsafe water sources. 

It’s not what you think! In 2006 the UN stated that the national crisis of water is not due to a physical absence of fresh water, but due to the mismanagement and lack of water supplies. 

## **We can change this** 

This is where your donations make a difference. By donating to our water project, you are giving impoverished Afghan communities access to a resource that Allah (swt) proclaimed as every human’s fundamental right. 

Water in Islam is sacred and as a Muslim charity, we have a duty to give the poor access to what is essentially, the source of life. 

And more than this, since water is used in so many ways – for agriculture, washing, drinking and sanitation, you are contributing to a sustainable future for these communities, where children can actually enjoy their childhoods and pursue their education instead of spending hours in search for a reliable water source. 

Allah (swt) states _‘By means of water, we give life to everything’_ AL QUR’AN, 21:30 

Aryana Aid have been working with local engineers to supply safe water to hundreds of villages and overcrowded urban area across Afghanistan.

## TESTIMONIAL **Istalif Village** 

**We built many water pumps including water tanks with solar panelling in villages, taking natural energy from the sun and using it to the pump water from deep below the ground into large seven metre tanks.** 

## **Sustainable Water Solutions** 

The water is then split between four bore hole wells, so that hundreds of  villagers have a water source nearby. 

The solar panels store energy, so the well keeps working at night or on cloudy days, the perfect low-cost environmentally friendly solution which never expires. 

## **Project Implementation** 

Our objective is to work with local engineers to install affordable water systems and save Afghan communities from water contamination, we have a dedicated team of volunteers on the ground to look after every water pump in terms of maintenance after installation. 

Our prime consideration is locating water wells for 900 people or more and water pumps for 300 people, allowing them to access clean water all year round. A contract is signed and agreed with the community, which is between Aryana Aid and local engineers, we drill the bore hole and install the well. 

Reza Gul  is 25 years old, her local well means that she no longer has to carry heavy, physically straining buckets of water over long distances for her family every morning. The crisis in her village in Istalif, is far from over, but this is just one of the ways Aryana Aid has created a sustainable water solution for long term care of local people in the village. 

The team have proper maintenance programs in place, if any breakdown issues occur, the community elders whom we put in charge of the well, inform our local office in Kabul, providing the water pump number and location. We send our local contractors immediately to repair the wells. 

We built a tube-well (community well) for the villagers and supplied clean water to Reza Gul’s village with 14 tap stands, there is now a free flow of fresh, clean water for 2850 people in her village. The villagers find it easy to access clean water for their everyday use and thank you for this beautiful gift of life, you have given to them. 

The ownership of any water equipment remains with Aryana Aid. As the project has strong involvement from users, the control of finances and responsibilities is now in place to ensure the well is properly installed and maintained. This results in a sustainable supply of clean drinking water made possible by Aryana Aid. 

It is important for us to keep up maintenance and expand to cover additional areas and build more wells to reduce wear and tear for intense usage of wells installed. 

**Over the last 11 years, we have built 127 water pumps, 113 water wells and 33 electric tube wells in the region.**

## Sharing the Joy of Ramadan 

## LONG TERM CARE FOR 

## Widows 

**Over 2.5 million women in Afghanistan have been widowed by the war, they need your support to protect themselves and their children.** 

## **How You Can Help** 

Most of these women were forced by dire circumstances to marry young and have children, only to remain the sole breadwinners of the family after their husbands’ death. 

Our beloved Prophet (pbuh) taught us that 

_‘A giver of maintenance to the widows and the poor is like a giver in the way of Allah (swt), an utterer of prayers all night and the one in fast during the day’_ BUKHARI 

Sometimes, the pressure of putting food on the table is so big, that mothers fear they might have to send their children to work, since they can’t earn enough to feed everyone. We can’t let this happen! 

Just like our Prophet (pbuh) advised, we wish to create a better and safer environment for widows in Afghanistan. Remember that when you give Sadaqah Jariyah, you are also the beneficiary of this special act of love for Allah (swt) in this life and the Hereafter. 

Help us rebuild their lives with new homes, medical aid and access to education. 

Aryana Aid believes Afghan widows deserve the dignity of raising their children with ease.

Thousands of Muslims benefited from Iftar packs distributed by Aryana Aid. Alhamdulillah these packs not only fed the poor families for Suhoor and Iftar, but significantly enabled them to fast and receive the blessings of this glorious month. 

**A Small** 100% **donation** Donation Policy **makes a big difference.** 

Our Ramadan food pack distribution helped many families in a time of uncertainty because of the global Pandemic Covid-19.  You have given these poor people not just temporary relief but also hope for the future.

## Aryana Aid Your Zakat Partner 

## Wheelchair DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM 

Use your Zakat to transform lives in Afghanistan. Zakat is the third pillar of Islam, it requires all followers of the faith to donate 2.5 % of their personal wealth to help others in need. 

It’s also an obligatory act of worship payable each year to those in need by every able Muslim in His Generosity Allah (swt) gives the donor the beautiful opportunity to purify their wealth and their souls through Zakat. 

## **Nisab on Gold and Silver** 

To make sure we have enough money for our personal expenses, including enough money to look after our own family, Zakat is only paid on assets exceeding a minimum threshold called the Nisab, which is calculated on gold or silver. 

## **Scholars have set the Nisab at:** 

The difference between the two values is due to the variations in demand for gold and silver, which used to be more equal in the time of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). 

We have been using your Zakat to save disabled children across Afghanistan, help rehabilitate war widows and provide the poor and needy with essential foods and clean water in the region. 

Remember Zakat is not just for Ramadan, but can be paid at any time of the year. At Aryana Aid, we are proud to have a 100% Zakat Policy 

It’s easy to calculate your Zakat, please use our online Zakat calculator

## **Our Approach** 

We are stared a transformation for disabled orphans, something they could only have dreamed of. Opening doors to education and opportunities in their own communities to secure their futures, but we still have thousands of children who desperately need our help. 

We are appealing to you to help us achieve this utmost of noble endeavours. Our dream is to be able to provide every disabled child, man and woman in Afghanistan with wheelchairs, so that they can restore their war-torn lives. 

We ask you to help us by sending your generous donation of £120, so that we can distribute vital wheelchairs to those who live in desperate need. 

## **What is next for the disabled in Afghanistan?** 

There is still a long way to go for the disabled in Afghanistan, but their hopes run high and some significant progress has been made over the past 18 years according to the UN. 

## **The impact of your donations** 

Aryana Aid have distributed hundreds of wheelchairs to poor disabled children. The biggest step is giving more disabled access to wheelchairs. In the last couple of years, thanks to your donations we improved the lives of 1350 disabled children with wheelchairs. 

Essentially, we want to reduce the exposure of the disabled to abuse. In more extreme cases Afghan families abandon their disabled children or relatives, because they cannot afford to care for them. This is almost like a death sentence for the disabled which we can avoid. 

Something as simple as a wheelchair can save a human life. A wheelchair gives people the gift of mobility and independence. It allows them to go back to school, work and stay close to their relatives.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **31/03/2021** . **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust‟s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** [The charity‟s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Certified Public Accountants Association _._ 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a „true and fair‟ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . 

The charity reviewed its operation since Taliban takeover (July/August 2021), it is difficult to state at this time as the situation is fluid and in a constant state of change. 

The trustees will constantly monitor and mitigate any potential risks so operations can resume and resume safely if there is potential to resume the charity‟s work in Afghanistan. 

The trustees are closely following the Commission updated its safeguarding advice and implemented safety first procedure.
