About Qatrah

Qatrah is a charitable organisation registered in England and Wales with the registered charity number 1200897. Qatrah aims to help individuals experiencing poverty or financial hardship in Afghanistan, as well as those who lack basic educational and preliminary healthcare support. It focuses particularly on women and children, regardless of their race, religion, or political preferences. Qatrah has three core programmes: poverty relief, disaster response, and education and skills development.

Qatrah was founded in 2018 by Maryam Atai, a UK-based social and human rights activist. It has since grown from strength to strength, extending a lifeline to hundreds of families across Afghanistan and achieving significant positive impact.

Women and children are the most vulnerable to poverty in Afghanistan. Having been through decades of war, terror, and economic crises, we must do our best to support them by any means we can. Your donations will help mothers to put food on the table, sick individuals to receive the healthcare they need, and the children of Afghanistan to go to school and experience the life of a child.
