SEPTEMBER 2025
Between 31st August and 2nd September, two earthquakes struck Afghanistan, killing at least 1,400 people and injuring 3,124. At least 8,000 homes were destroyed. Rescuers struggled to access the remote, mountainous villages where survivors were trapped under rubble, and the death toll is likely to rise.
Salam Charity is already on the ground responding to this heartbreaking emergency. You can help us to provide vital aid to the victims of this disaster. Our immediate focus will be ensuring that survivors have food and water and a place to sleep.

Previous Work
Lebanon
Salam Charity is on the ground with our partners in Lebanon, to provide food, healthcare and shelters to those who have been affected by the recent explosion. We will be offering medical attention by supplying qualified medical staff who will administer first aid and primary healthcare.
Pakistan
The worst monsoon rains, in almost a century have hit the country severely, causing thousands to become homeless, leaving hundreds dead and facilities in a dire state. Our team on the ground was able to reach those parts of Karachi heavily affected by the flood, providing thousands with some respite.
Yemen
Famine is devastating the country leaving millions without food and causing serious damage to the most vulnerable. Global Hunger Index indicates an alarming rate of food insecurity. Yemen is facing a catastrophe beyond anything that we can imagine. We have several projects in Yemen covering food, shelter, water and education.
Case Study
Thanks to your kind donations and ongoing support we were able to distribute food parcels to the destitute people of Yemen.
The area of Taiz has seen continuous fighting and it is the innocent civilians that suffer the most. We were able to get into the area with our longstanding partners and distribute lifesaving food parcels to 1,000 people.
We helped 200 families living in the worst conditions, many of which were suffering from acute malnutrition. They were supplied with culturally sensitive food packs that fed them for over a month. Each pack contained rice, pasta, oil, sugar, flour and other vital essentials.
