Fahim Zazai, 42 years old, runs the Afghan community and welfare center Walsall It helped Afghans and other immigrant communities in the West Midlands.
“When the refugees arrived, we found that most of them had very few personal belongings and only clothes on them, so we had to ask the public for donations,” Mr. Zazai told the Palestinian Authority News Agency.
“We have received a lot of donations from different organizations and individuals. This is really positive. We have received more than we requested and it is growing.”
Mr. Zazai came to the UK as an Afghan refugee 20 years ago. He said: “That’s why I understand the feelings of people who arrive here. That’s why I have to help.
“I don’t want to see other people who are in a similar situation to when I first came. I didn’t get much support. When I started my life in the UK, I went through a lot of difficulties.”
Despite the generous donation, Mr. Zazai said that it is difficult to help everyone in need.
“It’s really busy, and it’s still busy,” he said.
“We can’t keep up with the number of messages and calls we receive. We receive messages from people in our hometown asking how we can help them.
“Most people want to leave and want information on how to apply for settlement in the UK.”
