Afghanistan Earthquake 1st Sept 2025

A magnitude 6 earthquake has hit eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border, killing more than 800 people, according to the Taliban-run government there. Several villages have been "completely destroyed.


It struck a number of towns in the Afghan province of Kunar at 11.47pm local time.
  Villages in Afghanistan are built from mud and local stone, using traditional techniques that haven’t changed for hundreds of years. Unfortunately this offers very little protection against earthquakes and the villages near the epicentre were mainly flattened. 

Kandahar province where our producers are based seems to have escaped the worse of the damage.  However we want to help and know that you do too.

 We therefore feel that the best way to help is to make an initial donation then to make a futhur donation for every pair of Slipper Socks sold between now and Christmas.

So buy a pair of slipper socks and help us help Afghanistan rebuild.
