_End of year Report 5[th] Oct. 2020 to 1[st ] Jan. 2022_ The Green Village Each one of us can make a difference. Together we can make a change.
## Chairperson’s Message
Over the past year, The Green Village have dedicated themselves to reducing poverty in Afghanistan. This began in October 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and Taliban and a in the United resurgence, community Kingdom came together to collect aid for those suffering. 2021 was a year of opportunities and challenges. We are extremely grateful to our donors for continuing to support those in need despite the pandemic. Their inspirational generosity allowed us to build the foundation of the charity. We were able to provide life saving support to displaced families, vulnerable communities, widows, and orphans.
In 2021, we also saw Afghanistan fall back to Taliban rule. Our donors and volunteers and us responded helped get emergency support to 40 displaced families in Kabul.
Through the generosity of our supporters and the hard work of our teams and volunteers on the ground, we have been able to accomplish many successes in one of the most difficult years we have faced. We will look to grow and expand our support to more families, orphans, and widows in the coming year. We look forward to working together to tackle poverty.

## Our History
## **The Green Village**
The Green Village is a charity registered in the UK, aiming to uplift the lives of orphans, widows, and all individuals in need across Afghanistan.
Since inception Afghanistan has gone through a pandemic, Taliban takeover, economic hardship, and now potential drought. Although Afghanistan is no stranger to hardships, the events of the past year has exacerbated the challenges faced by the Afghan population. We, therefore, established this charity to give a helping hand to the most vulnerable people in Afghanistan. Our aim is to connect like minded people around the world in the fight to end poverty in Afghanistan.
## **MISSION**
Envision an Afghanistan where all people, regardless of their ethnicity, sex or religion, have the best opportunity to create a better life for themselves and others around them.
## **APPROACH**
Deliver emergency aid and long–term sustainability projects to poor communities in the region, from orphan sponsorships and widow skills training programmes to community support initiatives.
## **100% POLICY**
A volunteer led charity and 100% of the donations go directly to the beneficiaries – none to administrative or operational costs.
All costs are covered by the charity trustees personally.

## Achievement Highlights
_**Our support can be categorised in four ways – i) support to orphans, ii) support to families, iii) support to widows and vulnerable families, and iv) emergency support to families**_
In August 2021, the Taliban took over the country. As a result, we face two major challenges – i) first, our operations inside the country became extremely difficult, and ii) it became almost impossible to transfer funds to Kabul from the UK due to the capital controls placed by the Taliban

## Emergency Aid
## Testimonials
Under the current Taliban government, the fighting has reduced – but Afghanistan’s security situation is still fragile with frequent suicide bombings and a dire economic situation. Lack of jobs, internal migration, and inflated prices continues to threaten lives. Help us deliver food aid, winter fuel, and other emergency assistance.
||**Description**|
|---|---|
|No. Families|40 displaced families|
|Nature of
emergency aid|Essential food items, blankets, and grants|
|Support start date|August 2021|
|Duration of support|Five months|
|Background|During the takeover of the country by the Taliban, a
large number of families were displaced from the
regions that experienced intense fighting. The
majority of these families ended up in Kabul and
were living in make-shift tents.
Our volunteers were able to mobilise quickly and
help some families with emergency aid. Our
emergency aid was focused on providing support
to i) vulnerable women, ii) children, and iii) the
elderly.|
