For more than fifteen years, I have dedicated my life as a professional engineer to the development of my country, Afghanistan. I have worked tirelessly on essential projects, including constructing schools, business centers, residential buildings, and water canals that have supported countless communities. Despite these years of unwavering commitment and honest service, I am facing an alarming reality: homelessness in my own homeland.

The gap between limited income and rising living costs has made saving for a home impossible. As a result, I find myself without a place to call my own in the rapidly growing urban landscape of Kabul city. This is not just my story but the story of many professionals who are unable to translate their years of service and contribution into stable living conditions.

The pressing need for affordable housing in Kabul is undeniable. With a growing population and escalating costs, housing has become a luxury that many hardworking individuals cannot afford. It is crucial to address this issue by implementing policies that offer affordable housing solutions, particularly for those who have spent years contributing to the city's growth.

I am calling on the government, local authorities, and relevant stakeholders to take concrete actions. These should include introducing subsidized housing schemes for professionals, expanding access to affordable housing loans, and developing more housing projects that cater to low and middle-income residents.

By making housing more accessible, we can not only provide security to those who have contributed to our society but also stimulate economic growth and foster a sense of stability within Kabul. My story is a testament to the urgent need for change, and with your support, we can advocate for housing solutions that benefit everyone.
