Immediate support, whenever it is needed

Our mission is to support marginalized and vulnerable people, defending their rights, even during emergencies of every kind.
Our ability to act promptly depends on supporters like you who, through their donations to FEDA, our Emergency Fund, enable us to have unrestricted funds that can be used immediately, whenever there is a need.
FEDA reaches places where help is needed, intervening before it is too late: when a mother has to sell a daughter to feed her other children, when a sick child risks dying without medical care, or when a family loses its home or only source of livelihood.

Why an Emergency Fund

Because in Afghanistan every single day is an emergency. There are not enough public hospitals to provide care, stable jobs to survive, or social safety nets to protect people. An illness, an accident, or a natural disaster can wipe out lives.
FEDA is a helping hand in the dark: it reaches where help is needed, intervening before it is too late. It allows us to never interrupt the support we guarantee to the most vulnerable people, even in the event of natural disasters or serious health and humanitarian emergencies.
FEDA enables us to respond quickly and be ready for every kind of crisis or emergency.

What the Emergency Fund Covers

NOVE carries out concrete projects in various fields of intervention, from education to socioeconomic development, with particular attention to women, children, and persons with disabilities. However, situations may arise in which people facing severe economic, health, or social hardship — and who are not included among the beneficiaries of an ongoing project — require immediate assistance.
FEDA is designed for these people too, whose lives may depend on NOVE’s intervention. It exists to intervene where projects stop: to respond to unexpected events that overwhelm a life.

With a donation to the Emergency Fund, you guarantee NOVE the freedom to act where and when help is needed most.

Help us save lives where help is needed most. Make a donation and support FEDA.

Who we have already helped thanks to FEDA

Munisa
Munisa and Deeba
Munisa did not know how to pay the rent or buy food for her children. Desperate, she had fallen into such deep debt that she agreed to marry off her very young daughter Deeba, just to get the money needed to repay the creditors who had begun threatening her. Thanks to FEDA, we were able to settle Munisa’s debt and prevent Deeba from being forced into marriage.

Ayeda
Ayeda is two years old and suffers from a rare and severe genetic liver disease. She lives with her parents in Iran, where adequate treatments are not available, and the risk of forced repatriation to Afghanistan is constant.
Thanks to FEDA and the collaboration with institutions, doctors, and media, we were able to bring Ayeda and her family to Italy, to Palermo, where she will receive urgent and essential treatment to save her life.
