Ramadan is coming up, and Aseel(*) is fundraising for meals for iftar, the nightly breaking of the fast, in Afghanistan. If you have some charity budget for the month, Aseel is a great place to put it:

Iftar package for individuals (daily package to be distributed to those in need in Kabul, $3 each)
Iftar package for families (food for a family of 8 for 3 weeks; $98 each)

(*) I don't think I've mentioned them here yet: they're a startup platform run by Afghans for Afghans, sort of a combination of Etsy for Afghan artisans and GoFundMe for raising money for specific campaigns. Afghanistan is suffering greatly right now and Aseel is doing fabulous work there; if you don't have the budget for donations, take a look at their marketplace the next time you need a gift for something, because my god, some of the work is fucking amazing. (Just be sure to leave plenty of time for shipping -- one of the things I ordered in November got here a few weeks ago, heh.)
