Our goal is to provide the people of Afghanistan with immediate humanitarian assistance in the form of food and non-food items, as well as help them to stand on their own two feet so that they can make their homeland a peaceful, stable, and dignified country.
Briefing the media on the occasion, Syed Lakht e Hasnain, Chairman Muslim Hands, expressed special gratitude to the donors in the UK in particular and around the world in general who are always at the forefront for serving the people suffering from natural and manmade disasters.
