Annual Newsletter

Our Annual Newsletter celebrates the achievements of the people we've been working with, who are at the forefront of driving progress in their communities. We tell their inspiring stories and hear how they're ensuring lasting change for their families. We also hear from some of our wonderful supporters, whose fundraising supports these people, every step of the way.

2019 brings our 30th issue of the newsletter, and what a 30 years it's been!

Your generosity and kindness each year continues to make our work possible - from everyone at Afghanaid, thank you.
