He kept working through back pain and fasting.
An older Kabul worker was fasting and pushing his cart through back pain. A Ramadan essentials package helped with food for his household.
On March 11, an older man was working with his cart in Kabul while fasting and living with back pain. He had difficulty lifting, but when asked why he did not stay home, he said that staying home made things worse.
A local coordinator saw him at work and spoke with him. There was no long intake form or staged distribution line. The team had a Ramadan essentials package ready and gave it to him directly.
“Staying at home makes it worse.”
He was still trying to earn a living. Donor support helped provide food during Ramadan, when the team was choosing supplies and timing deliveries around the month’s needs.
