ExplanationPanah Charity Foundation has a branch and maintains an office in Kabul, Afghanistan. The permission to open up a branch is obtained from US Department of States in Washington DC. From that branch office Panah Charity helps families who are living below the poverty level with very basic needs such as food supplies, clothing, heating supplies in the winter season, and a few other humanitarian aids. Panah Charity in Afghanistan also creates water wells in poor locations, creates vocational workshops to teach poor women (mostly widows) how to work, and creates work opportunities for needy women and men to become self-sufficient and stand on their feet. In 2013 Panah had an agent there who was helping with program service and a group of volunteers. The president of Panah Charity monitors very carefully the fund that the charity transfers to its branch in Afghanistan. She makes sure that every dollar was directed toward the charity programs that Panah Foundation is supporting in that region.ExplanationTxt
