“Whoever grants respite to someone in difficulty or relieves him, Allah will shade him on the Day of Resurrection when there is no shade but His.” — (Tirmidhi 1306)
With Aryana Aid 100% of your donations can help families in desperate need of food, shelter, and medical care.
In Afghanistan, winter is not just cold. It’s deadly.
Displaced people living in makeshift shelters have fled destroyed villages with nothing. Heavy snow, freezing winds, and temperatures as low as -25°C turn fragile tents into traps of ice and mud. In mountain settlements where displaced families shelter, illness spreads fast and food runs out quickly.
Every year, lives are lost to the cold that families cannot escape, but you can help by donating Afghan refugees winter aid and emergency relief today.
16 Years of Life-Saving Winter Relief
For nearly two decades, Aryana Aid has been one of the few UK charities consistently working with refugees from Afghanistan. Our work on the borders of the country and in the regional areas is led by our local teams who know the communities we serve.
Our Winter Appeal delivers more than emergency aid. It delivers trust, compassion, and continuity. Because when the cold comes every year, we’re already there.
Last winter, your donations helped thousands of displaced families survive. Through our community networks, we can quickly identify those most in need and source essentials at negotiated prices.
Your support will help us provide:
During the 2024-2025 winter season, we reached tens of thousands of families during this critical period, but this year, the political and economic crisis has deepened, making survival even more precarious.
Families are in desperate need. Can you help us help them avoid another winter crisis in Afghanistan?

A Mother’s Story: Holding On Through the Cold
When the snow began to fall last December, Fatima, a widow from Kunduz, wrapped her children in torn shawls, held them close and prayed for a miracle.
“Our tent leaked when it rained, and the wind was like knives,” she said. “Then Aryana Aid came. They brought food, blankets and a small stove. After many months, my children ate hot food and smiled again.”
There are thousands more mothers like Fatima waiting for help before winter deepens. Will you be their miracle this winter?
