We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone engaging with this message. As we embark on our 10th year of fundraising, we wish to express our deep appreciation for your continued support and generosity. Since 2016, your contributions have made a significant difference in the lives of many, particularly during these challenging times in Afghanistan. The country's political turmoil, following the Taliban's ascent to power, has precipitated an economic crisis and a cessation of much-needed Western aid, exacerbating the hardships faced by the already vulnerable populations.
In Afghanistan, where the majority live hand-to-mouth, lacking savings or alternative income sources, the holy month of Ramadan intensifies the need for support. Our connections within the country have allowed us to identify those most in need, including widows, orphans, and individuals with disabilities, all of whom qualify for Zakat, Zakat-ul-Fitr, and general charity.
Thanks to your kindness, we have been able to assist numerous families over the years: 20 in 2016, 27 in 2017, 42 in 2018, 39 in 2019, 167 in 2020 during the peak of global challenges, 39 in 2021, 24 in 2022, 67 in 2023 and 77 in 2024. This Ramadan, we are motivated more than ever to broaden our impact and reach even more families in dire need of sustenance.
We are excited to announce a new development in our fundraising efforts this year. In collaboration with the Afghan Community of Guelph, a registered charity in Canada, we are now able to provide tax receipts for your generous donations. This partnership not only enhances the impact of your contributions but also offers you the added benefit of claiming your donations on your tax returns. It's a win-win: you support a noble cause while also receiving acknowledgment for your generosity in a tangible, beneficial way to you during tax season.
Your continued support has enabled us to make a significant difference in the lives of many, especially in these challenging times in Afghanistan. With the added incentive of tax-deductible contributions, we hope to encourage even greater participation and support this Ramadan. As always, we are here to provide any additional information or answer any questions you may have. Together, with your unwavering generosity, we can continue to bring hope and joy to those in dire need.
