Afghanistan – Bakery & Bread Project
More than 50% of Afghanistan’s population lives below the poverty line, struggling to meet basic needs. Since August 2021, widows, orphans, and vulnerable families have faced one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with food insecurity at critical levels due to economic collapse and drought. SWAN is providing life-saving bread through weekly distributions in Kabul & Kandahar. The SWAN Bakery in Kandahar employs local bakers, ensuring a sustainable solution while feeding thousands in need. Orphans and widowed families are priority beneficiaries, receiving fresh bread up to three times a week. SWAN distributed: 🍞 1945 bread packs per week (Kabul) – 7780 per month 🍞 1400 bread packs per week (Kandahar) – 5600 per month 🍞 A total of 447,350 breads throughout the year Our goal for 2025 is to increase bread distributions and expand our bakery operations, ensuring even more families have access to this essential food source.

Coding for Rohingya Girls – Empowering Through Digital Skills
In collaboration with Umme Salman Safura Begum Girls Madrasha, SWAN, and DREAMERS ACADEMY, we are running the Coding for Kids programme, empowering Rohingya girls with vital digital skills. These young girls, often facing barriers to education, now have the opportunity to learn coding and programming, opening doors to future employment and self-sufficiency. With 82 classes completed across 7 batches, students have gained hands-on experience in coding, with an 85% learning success rate. The programme not only teaches technical skills but also builds confidence, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of empowerment in a digital world. By supporting this initiative, you're giving Rohingya children a chance to break educational barriers and gain skills that can transform their future.
