Mr. Mohammad Ashraf returned recently to his village in central Afghanistan. Assistance in the form of irrigation water has allowed him to kick start grape production from his vine yard. The fields all around the vine yard are dry and barren but thanks to a water project by ACT members, many villagers have been able save their vine yards and fruit orchards.
For many - not least many of Afghanistan's children - the current alternative to food aid is starvation. In response to this situation, ACT members have raised some US $ 2.5 million in order to deliver much needed assistance to more than 60,000 families during 2001.
ACT members deliver food aid to some of the most needy people in Afghanistan (for instance widows and their children), they assist villagers re-establish dried out wells and irrigation channels in some of the worst drought affected areas as well as provide shelter materials and basic health care services to poor communities.
