As winter draws closer, the Imam Jawad Charity Organization (IJCO) distributed more than 300 winter blankets to vulnerable families under its support across various neighborhoods of Herat city.
This initiative is part of our emergency winter-support program, focused on helping families who cannot afford winter fuel and heaters, a serious challenge as temperatures begin to drop. After completing the assessments, the IJCO Social Services Department finalized the list of eligible families and handed the blankets directly to the families at the distribution site.
One thing that truly stood out during this program was the sense of relief visible on the faces of mothers and children. This distribution marks only the beginning of our broader winter-support program, which will continue in the coming weeks to reach even more families in need.
IJCO remains committed to standing with vulnerable households. We hope this small step makes the winter months a little easier for these families—while paving the way for larger efforts ahead.
