_End of year Report 1[st] Jan. 2022 to 31[st] Dec. 2022_ The Green Village Each one of us can make a difference. Together we can make a change.
## Chairperson’s Message
As we share The Green Village’s second end of year report with you, we do so at a time of great challenges. Afghanistan is facing a difficult transition that has led to significant economic hardship and has negatively impacted the lives of many Afghans.
The Taliban takeover has resulted in many charities leaving the country. But despite these challenges, we have remained committed to our missions and have continued our work, reaching the most vulnerable families.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our donors and partners, such as Road to Freedom, for their support. We were able to provide life-saving support to displaced families, vulnerable communities, widows, and orphans.
Let us continue our missions to fight poverty, providing hope and support to those that need it most.

## 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, and economic hardship. Although Afghanistan is no stranger to hardships, the events of the past few years 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.

## Orphan Sponsorship
We celebrate the transformative impact of our orphan sponsorship program. By providing essential opportunities, we enable children to escape the clutches of poverty and pave the way for a brighter future.
This year, we are proud to share stories of resilience and progress from the children we've supported. These stories exemplify the tangible results of our commitment. Our focus on keeping children in school has not only ensured their access to education but has also equipped them with the skills necessary to overcome the challenges of poverty.
.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated supporters and volunteers who make this work possible. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our mission, continuously seeking innovative ways to make a lasting difference in the lives of these deserving children. Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

## Emergency Aid
We address the evolving landscape in Afghanistan under the current Taliban government. While there has been a reduction in fighting, the nation's security situation remains precarious. Frequent suicide bombings and a severe economic crisis persist as threats to the Afghan population.
Our commitment to making a difference is unwavering, and we remain dedicated to alleviating the suffering of those affected by these challenges. With your support, we have been able to provide vital aid, including food, winter fuel, and emergency assistance, to those in need.
As we move forward, we recognise the ongoing struggles faced by the Afghan people and are committed to adapting and responding to their evolving needs. We extend our gratitude to our supporters, donors, and volunteers who have made our work possible. Together, we strive to bring hope and relief to the people of Afghanistan in these trying times.

Given the challenges of sending money to Afghanistan, we switched to the Hawala system to continue to disburse funds. To safeguard the funds and ensure safety of our volunteers, we developed a set of risk and diligence policies.
