The crisis in Syria began in March 2011, unleashing a previously unimaginable escalation of hardship which to date has continued unabated. The ongoing crisis has inflicted terrible suffering upon millions of Syrian people, with almost 6 million registered as refugees in various countries across the globe. Donations to the Syria crisis appeal will help save lives.
For over a decade, the people of Syria have been suffering the devastating consequences of war with seemingly no end in sight. A generation of children are growing up knowing nothing but war.
Four deadly earthquakes of 6.3, 6.4 and 4.7 magnitude hit Afghanistan this past week, taking the lives of up to 2,000 people so far and leaving thousands injured.
The earthquake struck 40km northwest of the city of Herat in Afghanistan, where 12 villages near the city of Herat have been affected.
Hundreds of homes were flattened amid the earthquake. There have been reports that families were buried inside the destroyed homes.

With many people losing their lives, grandparents have found themselves becoming the sole carers for their orphaned grandchildren. This is a reality that Abu Ziyad knows all too well.
Having lost his son when his village was bombed, he’s now caring for his orphaned grandchildren alone. The family have witnessed many horrors and Abu Ziyad also lost his livelihood.
However, with the support of Charity Project PK who provided Abu Ziyad with pregnant ewes to produce milk to be sold at market. This opportunity allowed him to earn enough income to buy food to support his young family and enjoy fresh and nutritious dairy products every day.
Your support has enabled us to support families to build a reliable source of income upon which they can depend. Read more about Abu Ziyad’s story and how we help him earn a living here.
