Your Support Changes Lives

Ten-year-old Bilqhis arrived at our Healthy Children Program health center with her mother Maryam, suffering from months of abdominal discomfort and weakness despite being an otherwise bright, smart girl.

Our medical team diagnosed her with an amebic infection – a common but serious condition in Afghanistan where unclean water remains a major cause of parasitic infections among children and adults. Without access to free medical services, many low-income families like Bilqhis’ would have no treatment options.

Today, Bilqhis has received proper medication and her family has learned crucial hygiene practices, including water purification techniques for cooking and drinking at home. These simple interventions prevent dangerous complications like liver abscess or the spread of parasites to vital organs.

This is the impact of your support – providing treatment that alleviates immediate suffering while equipping families with knowledge to protect their health long-term. One child, one family at a time, we’re working toward a healthier Afghanistan.
