The Kabul Winterization Project has been a joint operation between Terre des hommes (Tdh) and the ASCHIANA Street Children Project - targeting 2’089 beneficiary families. ASCHIANA has been involved in small-scale emergency projects since 1996 for street children in Kabul. 

The winter relief project has been planned to help vulnerable children and their families in Kabul city to survive the winter as well as to provide most needed supplementary food items. The supplementary food included rice, oil, sugar and chickpeas. Moreover, a non-food component has been included to distribute blankets, shoes and sweaters to the most vulnerable children and their families.
