In Baghlan province, the Kator Foundation distributed seeds to local farmers preparing for the planting season. The seeds were chosen to suit the climate and soil of northern Afghanistan, and they went to farming families who, after years of drought and economic hardship, no longer had the means to buy what they needed to plant their own fields.
For a farming family, seeds are everything. Without them, the land sits empty, the harvest never comes, and the family has nothing to eat or sell. With them, a single planting season can put food on the table and money in the household for an entire year. Giving a farmer seeds is one of the most direct ways to set a family on the path back to self-sufficiency.
This distribution was made possible by our donors. Your support put real seeds in real hands, and the harvests those seeds produce will feed real families long after the distribution is done.
We believe that the best aid is the kind that gives people back the ability to provide for themselves. These seeds are not charity in the usual sense. They are the start of a season, a harvest, and a family’s own work.
