Distribution of food packages for needy families
On the 12th of April the Afghan Women Education Center (AWEC) delivered food packages to a total of 164 families from Anna Centre for street/ working children in Kabul. The packages included four packs of oil, one bag of rice, five soap bars and an information brochure on how to prevent risks of Covid-19. Since the Afghan government announced a lockdown for three weeks on March 27th, 2020 restrictions were imposed on the day to day life of many Afghans. For many this threatened their daily activities to provide income for their families. Leading to more poverty and hunger.
