When our colleague Mark visited Ghor in July 2024, he met vulnerable children, women, farmers, WV’s projects and WV Afghanistan staff who were affected by floods in this province. His heart was broken after seeing the situation of one of our colleagues’ family whose house was destroyed by the floods leaving them living in tents. He wanted to help and decided to run for 24 hours to raise funds to support this colleague and ensure he can make a shelter for his family. Thank you, Mark, and the 60 individual supporters who together donated over £4000 to support our colleagues!
