Force for Good: Afsariyeh
Afsariyeh is an Iranian non-governmental organization home to 22 boys aged between 13 and 18. The center is located in southern Tehran, home to many impoverished families who rely on Afsariyeh for aid. The center's funds are very limited and they cannot afford many of their major repair projects.
For the past several years Afsariyeh's heating system has not been working properly and last winter these young boys had to survive the harsh weather without heat. In addition, the center's plumbing system has been deteriorating to the point of total disrepair. To ensure that these young boys and the staff would not have to endure another winter without heat or hot water, Afsariyeh began renovation work.
The cost of the projects was $18,000 and the renovation began in February 2009. With the support of generous donors, they were able to raise $11,000 and completed the first two phases of these projects. The third and final phase has now begun, but there are insufficient funds remaining to cover the cost of this last phase. The center needs to raise $7,000 to complete the work.
These projects could not have been undertaken without the continued support and generosity of donors, and as they enter this final stage of their renovation project, Afsariyeh asks that you spread the word among friends and family and ask for their support. Every dollar counts toward improving the living condition of these young boys who call Afsariyeh home.
