Farmer Success Story

Khan Mohammad's Transformation

Khan Mohammad, a farmer from Farah province, struggled with low wheat yields for years. His family faced food insecurity during dry seasons, and he considered abandoning farming altogether.

After participating in OASK's agricultural training program and receiving improved seeds, his yield increased by 60% in just one season. He learned water conservation techniques that helped him farm through drought periods.

"OASK changed my life. I can now provide for my family and even sell surplus crops in the market. The training on water conservation has helped me farm through the dry seasons. My children can now go to school instead of working in the fields."
