Local officials in Kunduz welcomed Bayat foundation’s initiative and urged other organizations to follow suit.
“We expect other institutions to take the hands of the poor and needy during the Holy Month of Ramazan,” said Ali Khan Ahmadzai, the representative of the Kunduz Directorate of Economy.
Recipients of Bayat Foundation’s aid said that they need food and humanitarian aid more than ever during Ramazan. They also expressed their gratitude for the foundation’s help.
