“Early morning my mother gave me these eggs to sell them in the street in order to buy food. It was too cold to hold these in my frozen hands. The eggs were supposed to help us survive, but i am not to go back like this…” the child said.
Nowadays, many Afghan children are working and selling eggs, cigarettes, plastic bags, chewing gum, and lots of other cheap things in the streets. Many others lay naked on the streets to attract passionate people to give them money.
Many others have been taken from the streets and smuggled into Pakistan. A few smugglers have been arrested but they are still active.

We try to help the children to have education.
7 million children can't study in Afghanistan, most of them are working on the streets and up to 92% of girls in some rural areas.
The standard of education is very poor. There are shortages of qualified teachers and a lack of textbooks and equipment. Girls are discriminated against and there are not enough female teachers. The presence of mines in some areas makes it dangerous for children to go to school.

Save Hazara children in Afghanistan.
We’ve worked in Afghanistan since 2008. Despite a difficult working environment, we expanded our programme considerably in 2010, reaching 500 children (compared with 200 in 2009). Our activities focus on getting more children into primary school and protecting children from harm. We’re starting to provide more and better healthcare for children and their carers in the rural areas. We work in Kabul city and its surrounding rural areas, Bamyan, Behsood and other part of Hazarajat.
What we’re doing?
Around 70% of the population live in poverty. More than half of all children under five (54%) are stunted due to poor nutrition. Life expectancy is just 44.
More than half of Afghanistan’s 27.1 million population are under 18 years of age. Two-thirds of the population live on less than US$2 a day, so many children have to work to support their families. Many do not have enough to eat, have no school to go to and cannot get treatment when they are ill. Children are often caught up in the fighting which continues in the south and east.

- We provided practical help to 16,030 children affected by floods and drought.

Poor kids can't study and make problems in the society.
There are many poor kids in Afghanistan, that they cannot study due to economical problems. in 30 years war in Afghanistan everything demolished from the base and people lost their hope, they couldn't educate their children. they were trying to make 1$ per day to survive and dwell through a difficult regime.
Lets help
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
I ask all the people around the world to help the poor kids to study and be the same as you.
