Send Love,
Not Just Money.
AfghanBasket lets Afghans abroad buy flour, rice, oil, tea and household essentials online — delivered straight to their family's door in Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kandahar, with photo proof.
Figures are illustrative market estimates for concept presentation.
Cash remittances are costly, risky and invisible
Millions of Afghan families rely on money from relatives abroad to put food on the table. The way that money travels today is broken.
Security risks of cash
Families collecting cash from exchange points become visible targets for theft, extortion and pressure from others.
High transaction fees
Transfer services and currency spreads quietly consume 5–10% of every amount sent — money that never reaches the family.
No visibility on spending
Senders have no way to know whether money reached the right person or was spent on food, rent or something else entirely.
Delays in transfer
Banking restrictions and liquidity shortages mean transfers can take days, while families wait for essentials they need today.
Dependence on hawala
Informal hawala networks fill the gap but offer no receipts, no recourse and exchange rates set entirely by the broker.
Price shocks at the bazaar
By the time cash arrives, local food prices may have risen — the same amount buys less flour and oil than the sender intended.
Groceries, not cash — delivered with proof
Instead of wiring money, relatives abroad buy the essentials directly. We handle sourcing, packing and last-mile delivery inside Afghanistan.
