One of the strategies of MF is to help the needy and the
poor people to undertake small – scale income – generating businesses in order to
provide them with a consistent source of income.
On the basis of this strategy, the donations received from
PRT (in charge of Panjshir Rehabilitation projects) and from some generous French colleagues, a total amount
of $38,000/00 has been launched under the name of Micro- Finance
Loans to offer small loans
( $500/00
per family) to (76) poor families in
Panjshir province enabling them to
start / establish small income – generating
undertakings for the bread- winners of those families.

$20,000/ has been distributed to (201) poor families, ($100/00 per family), as Humanitarian
fiscal assistance.

sent $20,000/00 through Haji Abdul Basir, their official Delegate to be distributed
by Massoud Foundation among the poor families who were subjected to recent Natural
catastrophe in Baghlan, Somangan and Takhar provinces.

(300) families in Takhar were the lucky families who were
identified as poor and received their share of the donation.

districts were subjected to
thunder – storms , showers, and floods due to
seasonal heavy rains which rendered
