'Little money, little food': Kabul orphanage struggles to feed children as cash runs low

The programme director of a large Kabul orphanage said the home is running out of money. "We are now trying to run the place with very little money and with little food," he said.

Ahmad Khalil Mayan, programme director at a large Kabul orphanage, says he is cutting back on the amount of fruit and meat he gives the children each week because the home is running out of money.

For the last two months, since the Afghan Taliban seized control of the country and millions of dollars in aid suddenly dried up, he has been desperately calling and emailing donors, both foreign and local, who supported him before.
