Comfort Aid International donors have supported 122 orphaned refugees for the last seven years at the Balukhali Primary School on the perimeter of the densely populated Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, and provided potable water to 40,000 refugees daily.

Ali Yusufali’s blog captures the continuing struggles of the Rohingya refugees at the Cox’s Bazar camps, ‘home’ to more than 1 million.

Nestled in the valleys of the Masherbrum Range, on the outskirts of Skardu City, Baltistan Province, is a school for girls and boys managed by USWA, the education arm of our ground partners, Jabir Bin Hayyan Trust in Pakistan.

Beta Charitable Trust and Comfort Aid International have sponsored the construction of 4 additional classrooms and a boundary wall to keep the premises safe from wild animals and intruders.

Pictures below from Comfort Aid International’s visit to the school on Sep 4, 2024, and the groundbreaking ceremony for the additions.

Afghanistan, Syria, parts of Pakistan, and India experience severe winters, especially in remote areas. Sadly, many impoverished, old, infirm, and very young do not see the light of day as they succumb to hypothermia. This tragedy is avoidable with a contribution of US$32 per person. A thick, sturdy blanket will provide lifesaving warmth to an infirm, old individual, a widow, and her child.

This winter, Comfort Aid International will distribute lifesaving blankets to new recipients in different remote areas of Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, and Yemen.

The goal is to distribute about 7,700 blankets in these countries at approximately US$248,000. To take advantage of the lower prices, we must commit to purchasing these blankets now, as the prices will increase by 25% in December.

Please pledge or donate [select Disaster/Blankets] to sponsor one or more blankets to help save a life!
