They arrived in Europe on a cold morning with two backpacks, a few documents, and a heart full of hope. Two brothers from Afghanistan, raised in a home where people learn early that nothing comes easy and that dreams must be earned the hard way.
They came with education, ambition, and a belief that they could build a better future. One brother had completed a Master's degree after years of sacrifice. The other had worked tirelessly to learn and grow.
They thought the hardest part was over.
But life had other plans.
They applied everywhere. Every single day.
Emails, forms, applications hoping for one opportunity.
But their inbox stayed quiet.
Not because they weren't qualified. Not because they didn't have talent. But because starting in a new country means proving yourself from zero. And sometimes, even that isn't enough.
Weeks passed. Months passed. The world around them kept moving… but their careers didn't.
They didn't complain. They didn't give up. They took whatever work they could find honest, difficult, necessary work.
Early-morning warehouse shifts, carrying heavy boxes with frozen hands. Restaurant jobs filled with heat, noise, and long hours. Delivery work through cold nights and rainy streets.
These jobs are not bad. They put food on the table. They keep families alive. They have dignity.
But the real struggle was something deeper the feeling of having worked so hard for an education, of dreaming of a professional future, and still ending up far away from the field you studied for years.
It wasn't the work that hurt. It was the distance between where they were and where they knew they could be.
After their shifts, when most people slept, the two brothers stayed awake. Their bodies were tired, but their minds refused to stop.
They talked, planned, learned, tried, failed, tried again. They built ideas slowly, carefully, with patience and determination. They gave up sleep, rest, weekends but never gave up hope.
There was no boss. No investor. No mentor.
Just two brothers in a small room believing that effort eventually becomes opportunity.
After a long day of work, they were trying to send mobile credit to their mother back home. And they realized something simple:
Why is this so difficult? Why is something so basic still stressful and confusing?
If they were struggling, others must be struggling too.
That small moment — a moment of thinking about family — became the beginning of something big.
Slowly. Late at night. One step at a time. No money. No support. Just determination.
And after months of effort, after countless obstacles, after moments where they nearly gave up…
AFGTopup was born.
