In a video message, the midfielder appears for donations, which he has also personally supported. "I'm happy that I grew up in Germany. At the same time, it hurts my heart to see how people are suffering in Afghanistan," explained Nadiem Amiri.
His family fled to Germany from Afghanistan in the 1980s. "I'd just like to help and do some good for my family's fellow countrymen and women. My father was there recently and he explained the current situation to me in detail.”
In the Asian country, from where Nadiem Amiri's family fled, a large part of the population lives in difficult to access mountainous regions and therefore often receive no medical help in times of ill health. The loss of employment opportunities, increasing food prices and the coronavirus pandemic have presented huge challenges for the people to provide the very basics to live. Currently every third inhabitant of Afghanistan is dependent on humanitarian aid. The start of cold weather and the particularly long winters only increase the plight of the Afghan people. There is often a lack of basic items: A warming blanket and a hygiene package can help to ease the hardship. Both are contained in the 'Care package Afghanistan'.
