Herat earthquake — food, blankets, and shelter for 200 families
Damaged village in Zindajan
Relief truck en route
First-night shelter setup
Volunteers loading kits
On October 7 a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck 30 km outside Herat. Three villages — Zindajan, Ghoryan, and a hamlet our team is still mapping — are flattened. We have ground teams from Herat Relief Council on site with the local council, and we are coordinating with Afghan Red Crescent. Every $50 buys one family blanket + food kit for a week. Every $200 puts up an emergency winter tent. Every dollar above the goal is going to the second wave: rebuilding three small medical posts before snow arrives. We post one update per day. Verified by our compliance team and ComplyAdvantage screening, identity-verified via Sumsub. Send what you can. اَلصَّبْرُ مِفْتَاحُ الْفَرَجِ.
