Ali’s Story of Strength

For years, Ali Juma has carried the immense burden of providing for his family of ten, including two disabled children. Despite his relentless efforts, securing even the most basic necessities remained an ongoing struggle. 

Living in a rented home on the outskirts of Kabul, his situation worsened after losing his job following the fall of Afghanistan’s previous government. With no steady income, the challenge of feeding his family and accessing medical care became insurmountable, leaving him with little hope. 

As winter set in, bringing even greater hardship, The Zahra Trust stepped forward to assist Ali Juma and 34 other vulnerable families. They received essential food aid, including rice, cooking oil, pasta, and tea—lifesaving provisions that helped them endure the harsh conditions without the constant worry of hunger. 

For Ali Juma’s children, especially his two disabled sons, this support was transformative. It not only provided nourishment but also restored a sense of stability and relief in their lives. 

The impact was immediate. With enough food to sustain his family for an entire month, Ali Juma felt an immense burden lifted. His children, who had suffered from poor nutrition and uncertainty, could now enjoy regular meals, bringing comfort and renewed energy to their daily lives. 

“I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff of The Zahra Trust for helping me during these difficult times,” he shared. “May God reward all the donors who assist the needy people of Afghanistan.” 

Ali Juma’s story underscores the importance of sustained humanitarian aid. While food assistance provides immediate relief, families like his need ongoing support—access to stable employment, healthcare, and long-term solutions—to break free from the cycle of poverty. 

Through your generosity, we are doing more than just feeding families—we are restoring hope, dignity, and stability to those in need. With continued support, we can ensure that vulnerable families like Ali Juma’s receive the help they need to survive and rebuild their futures.
