The Green Village Each one of us can make a difference. Together we can make a change.
Chairperson’s Message
2024 was another difficult year for Afghanistan. The country continued to face deep humanitarian and economic challenges, growing food insecurity, restrictions on women and girls, and harsh winter conditions that left many families struggling to survive. Yet, amid these challenges, The Green Village continued to bring hope and practical support to those who need it most.
We provided food supplies to 330 families and 345 orphans , a major increase from 120 families and 128 orphans in 2023 . We also introduced a new winter aid programme , delivering fuel to 35 families to help them endure the freezing months.
A key highlight of the year was a visit by one of our founders to Afghanistan to oversee our operations, negotiate directly with suppliers , and support the development of our volunteer network , ensuring that every donation achieved the greatest possible impact . This hands-on leadership strengthened our ability to deliver aid effectively and transparently.
These achievements were made possible through the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our donors, people who continue to stand with Afghan families in their most difficult moments.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are determined to build on this progress. Our focus will expand beyond immediate relief to include support for women’s education, initiatives that promote sustainable livelihoods for families , and continued investment in education programmes that empower the next generation. We believe that long-term change begins with opportunity, and education remains the most powerful tool to create it.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported us this year. Your compassion and commitment continue to light the path toward a more hopeful and equitable Afghanistan.

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.

The trustees and volunteers receive no remuneration, payments, or benefits from the charity . We have a 100% donation policy. Short of bank and transfer fees which is an unavoidable cost, the entire donations are used to support families. Additionally, the charity will be claiming gift aid, which will more than offset the bank fees.

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.
