Taking initiative in Afghanistan without foreign aid just goes to show what state our country was & still is in. Everyone turned to NGOs for a source of income without asking what would happen if that NGO left. Afghanistans aid dependence became a social norm, from the people on

This is one of our smaller fundraisers, but it will cover coal for the entire winter for two of our largest facilities. We need coal because one of the facilities has a built in radiator system, which wonderfully safe, and in the other one we use large Turkish bukharis that do better with coal and hold the heat for longer--it's just the large rooms in our new clinic. We only have to use coal for a couple months there, but our radiator powered facility (for cats, bunnies, and budgies) needs to be turned on this week. We've got matches lined up that will cover a good portion of this--can you help us make a dent?

Where are the internal experts to help the current gov figure out and implement preventatives along with the river clean up ?
#Kabul River was cleaned in 2017 at a cost of 89 million Afghanis, yet waste returned within months. The planned cleanup will not last either, because pollution sources remain unaddressed-specifically, the disposal of #solid waste & #wastewater by local residents & gov. agencies.

Where are the internal experts to help consult with this type of request ? The river has been cleaned before but it goes back to a mess and public health issue because of littering. Why not implement preventatives ALONG with the cleaning up?
Nooruddin Turabi, Director General of the Disaster Management Authority, has called on countries and international organizations to provide $1 million in assistance to clean up the Kabul River.
Turabi made the appeal during a ceremony in Kabul marking October 13, the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The request comes as Kabul residents have repeatedly called for the river to be cleaned up.

These groups always use visa issues as a barrier to entry but almost never seem to use whatever leverage they may have to put pressure on countries to ease/reconsider those visa policies. Also, the Internet exists, we have long had the technology for virtual representation
Thank you for sharing this important concern. Selecting youth representatives from inside Afghanistan would pose serious security risks for them. There are also significant visa barriers and travel restrictions.
For these reasons, applicants must currently reside outside Afghanistan. However, the representative’s main responsibility is to consult Afghan youth inside the country and bring their voices to international platforms.

The exclusion of young people living in Afghanistan from a position claiming to represent Afghan youth is inexcusable. Consultation does not equal representative authority. The diaspora representative still decides who to consult, which concerns merit attention, and how those accounts are interpreted and presented internationally. This is all done through their own lens and experiences. It is essentially a form of gatekeeping, not a substitute for direct representation.
“security risks”: What precisely is the danger in discussing issues like Pakistani airstrikes, unemployment, floods, environmental degradation, economic development, or the everyday needs of Afghan youth? Where genuine risks exist, why deny young Afghans the right to assess those risks and decide for themselves whether to participate?
The treatment of Madina Mahboobi after her UN appearance also raises an uncomfortable question about whether the concern is solely for the safety of Afghans inside the country, or whether certain perspectives become unwelcome when they challenge established political narratives.
Visa restrictions and travel difficulties are obstacles that institutions committed to meaningful representation should seek to overcome, not use to justify exclusion. Select qualified young Afghans from within the country, advocate for their participation, and pursue remote arrangements when necessary. Otherwise, the process risks preserving international platforms for voices outside Afghanistan while denying those living with the consequences of international decisions the opportunity to speak for themselves.

This fuels more fear of dogs and mistreatment such as throwing rocks at them. Overpopulation can become a public health issue. Many have seen and know of the ongoing need to clean up dead strays in close proximity where people live.

Please support one of Afghanistans few resources that address the ongoing challenges to care for animals. The treatment & attitude towards dogs especially leads to an overpopulation of strays suffering from lack of care &becoming vectors of disease at no fault of their own.
Earlier today the KSAR staff up in Panjshir, who has now worked with a team of 20 locals in the area to find the last male dog from the hospital, found a dog in horrifically bad shape, missing a front foot and back leg, old injuries that are likely from some sort of car accident. He was mildly sedated and brought down to the clinic. He is not the dog from the hospital that we've been searching for, but he's in need and we were there.
His name is Tyler and we don't know if we can give him a good life in the long run, he's got some other issues beyond the old injuries, but we're going to give it a try. He's eating well and right now he's sleeping sounds on soft blankets in the clinic, and Zahir will be his primarily caretaker for the next few days, since he's built the most trust with him.
We can only help dogs like Tyler with your help. Otherwise we could not feed him, give him pain medicine, or put a roof over his head.

We've had some sad cases at the clinic today, and that never gets easier, so we're highlighting some of our happy animals, including our room full of sun-loving kitties. We have over 500 animals in residence right now and an extraordinary amount of work goes into keeping them safe and healthy and fed. We can't do it without you.

Meet Mowgli, who just like Bolt is completely blind, most likely because of congenital micropthalmia, which left him with unformed eyes. He's a happy little boy and somehow survived on the streets for quite a while on his own. Luckily he's made his way to our doors.

Would you consider buying a bag of kitty litter to help us keep our cat rooms clean, healthy, and smelling nice for our many darling cats? Each 10 kilogram bag is $14.50 and we go through a lot of them each month!

Afghanistan has been shown to the world as a conflict for so long that people forget it is a country with food, culture, beauty, and everyday life.
The country has so many stories to tell. Always nice to see people willing to tell them.

If Afghan Women Are the Priority, Why Are They Paying the Price?
Afghanistan shows how policies framed as concern for women can deepen their suffering. If Afghan women are already struggling, cutting clinics, midwives, food, and medical care only deepens that harm.

This doesn’t happen overnight, it’s the result of “ghost schools,” and years of corruption. Ongoing limitations on girls’ education is certainly not helping, but the fact remains that this is the direct impact of decades of mismanagement, fraud and disinterest

The directive to cut off internet connectivity in Afghanistan, like so many other directives, is causing confusion and disinformation on the ground. Explanations range from national security issues to censorship, rivalries, and coups. From the possible to logical to fanciful.
The harsh truth is that the perpetrators of the current climate crisis aren’t paying it forward in reparations. Afghanistan under occupation saw mismanagement of projects regarding water, bottling of water companies, policies regarding how water has been managed internally,
