Like many other families across the country, Ali faces daily challenges in accessing enough food to feed his family, as Afghanistan faces an extreme hunger crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 79, Ali is the sole provider for his family of four, which includes his wife Amina, his 35-year-old daughter Ruqia, and his nine-year-old grandson. Despite his age, he works tirelessly to protect and support those who depend on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CO-PIC-00005-AFG-25-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6465\" style=\"width:470px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CO-PIC-00005-AFG-25-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CO-PIC-00005-AFG-25-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CO-PIC-00005-AFG-25-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CO-PIC-00005-AFG-25-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CO-PIC-00005-AFG-25-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ali Mohammad and his family struggled to access food until a PWS&amp;D project offered much-needed relief through cash assistance.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past few years, Ali and his wife Amina have experienced significant loss. In 2016, their son Eiwaz, 24, died when a roadside mine exploded. At the time, his wife, Zainab, was nine months pregnant with their first child; however, due to the immense grief of losing her husband, she suffered severe complications and passed away during childbirth. Then, in 2022, as Afghanistan&#8217;s economy deteriorated and job opportunities became scarce, their 23-year-old son, Qurban, left for Iran in search of work and has not been heard from since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their remote village, there are no employment opportunities for his daughter and years of physical labour have left Ali unable to continue working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to do without any source of income,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;Earlier, I used to get essential food and hygiene items on credit from the Nayak Market\u2014the district center market, 21 km away from my home. However, for the past seven to eight months, they have refused to lend me anything because they know I cannot repay it,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ali&#8217;s family was identified as eligible for a food assistance program that was implemented by PWS&amp;D\u2019s local partner (not named due to security concerns). The program provided five months of cash assistance to&nbsp;3,810 households like Ali\u2019s in Bamyan province.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;With this assistance, I was able to purchase essential food items like flour, oil, sugar, salt and rice. For the first time in a long while, we no longer have to worry about food,&#8221; he shared. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ali is grateful, emphasizing how this assistance has relieved his anxiety about feeding his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life and circumstances have been challenging for Ali Mohammad and his family, but thanks to your generosity, the family found much-needed relief. With your continued support, we can ensure that other families in Afghanistan experience the same hope and assistance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/donate\/donate-to-pwsd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-01-at-12.20.59-PM-1024x306.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2421\" style=\"width:236px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-01-at-12.20.59-PM-1024x306.png 1024w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-01-at-12.20.59-PM-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-01-at-12.20.59-PM-768x229.png 768w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-01-at-12.20.59-PM.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Canadian-Foodgrains-bank-Update-logo-2011.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2463\" style=\"width:188px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Canadian-Foodgrains-bank-Update-logo-2011.png 432w, https:\/\/presbyterian.ca\/pwsd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Canadian-Foodgrains-bank-Update-logo-2011-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*This project receives support from Global Affairs Canada through Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
