Khorasan provides security for children in a country that is still suffering from over two decades of war that began with the Russian invasion in December 1979 and ended with the ousting of the Taliban in 2001. Natural disasters, including a four year drought throughout much of the country and earthquakes in some areas have compounded Afghanistan's problems. Epidemics of measles, polio and malaria continue to claim the lives of children whose state of health is very poor due to years of impoverishment, cold and hunger. The country's new Government under the leadership of President Karzai is working hard to reconstruct Afghanistan with the help of the International Community and the peace-loving Afghans who are in the majority. Afghan and international charities are assisting the Afghan Government in rebuilding the country with funds from other Governments. They are determined to prevent the country returning to a haven for foreign terrorists.
Khorasan gives children a chance to live a life free of fear, where they can enjoy innocent play – a basic right for all children. Afghanistan is a land-locked country and children can play in the wonderful rivers and lakes that are some of the most beautiful parts of Afghanistan's landscape.
What you can Do to Help
Friends of Khorasan can help the children of Afghanistan by raising awareness of their suffering and assist those who are trying to improve their situation. Khorasan can only do its good work with the continued generosity of their friends who donate money to house, feed, clothe and educate children who are in desperate need. Khorasan's carers provide love, kindness and necessary discipline to assist the children to grow in to well-rounded and considerate adults. But they cannot do this without your help. Please continue to support Khorasan – Afghanistan's children need you.
