Mohammad Sadiq lives in Yaka Lang, a small village in Kandahar province. Life has not been easy for him—he is poor, disabled, and carries the heavy burden of supporting his family of thirteen. Among them are his children, elderly parents, and women who rely on him for survival.The crisis in the country has made things even harder, pushing his family into deeper struggles. But there is hope. After careful evaluation, Mohammad was chosen to be part of a kitchen gardening program. This program is not just about growing vegetables—it is about giving him the chance to feed his family, regain stability, and build a better future. With seeds in his hands and determination in his heart, Mohammad is ready to transform his life, one small garden at a time.

Life has been full of struggles for Mohammad Sediq and his family. Like many others in his community, he faces daily challenges just to survive. His home is in an area without basic services or easy access to markets, making it even harder to provide for his loved ones.
His disability in one leg means he cannot do heavy labor, and without specific skills, finding work has been impossible. With thirteen family members depending on him, including children and elderly parents, the weight on his shoulders is immense.
Yet, despite all these hardships, hope has found its way to him. Through a humanitarian kitchen gardening program, he has been given a chance to grow food for his family. This small opportunity could mean a big change—a way to bring stability, nourishment, and dignity back into their lives. Step by step, plant by plant, Mohammad is working toward a better future.

Thanks to the kindness and support of the Search organization and ADNO, Mohammad Sediq finally found a path toward relief. With financial aid and encouragement, he gained the strength to keep going, despite the difficulties he faced.
Their help was more than just assistance—it was a lifeline. It gave him hope, pushed him to stay motivated, and reminded him that he was not alone in his struggles. With this support, he started working to improve his life, determined to bring comfort and stability to his family. What once seemed impossible is now within reach. Slowly but surely, Mohammad is building a better future, not just for himself, but for his children, parents, and loved ones. His journey is far from over, but he is moving forward with renewed strength.

With the support of ADNO, Mohammad Sediq received the training he needed to start his own small garden. He was given valuable guidance on how to grow food, care for his plants, and make the most of his resources. To help him succeed, ADNO provided him with $75 in cash, along with seasonal seeds and essential tools. These simple yet powerful resources gave him the ability to begin his journey toward self-reliance. For Mohammad, this wasn’t just about gardening—it was about survival, hope, and the chance to bring fresh food to his family. Every seed he plants is a step toward a better life, one where his children and loved ones will no longer suffer from hunger.

With newfound hope, Mohammad Sediq and his family came together to care for their garden. Each member played a role, from planting seeds to watering the crops, making it a shared effort that strengthened their bond. What started as a small kitchen garden soon became a source of fresh food and stability.
Their hard work did more than just feed their family—it also brought positive change to the community. As their garden flourished, they began selling produce at the local market, generating much-needed income. Neighbors, too, saw the possibilities and became inspired to start their own small gardens. What once seemed impossible is now a reality. Mohammad’s family is no longer just surviving—they are thriving, proving that even in the hardest times, resilience and support can build a brighter future.

The kitchen gardening project became a lifeline for Mohammad Sediq and his family. It was not just about growing food—it was about survival, hope, and lasting change. The project helped meet their immediate needs, but more importantly, it laid the foundation for a sustainable future, one where they could rely on themselves and contribute to their community.
With great gratitude, Mohammad expressed his happiness and hope that such essential projects would continue, bringing relief to more families in need. He dreamed of achieving a better life, one where he would be self-sufficient and no longer struggle to provide for his loved ones. To make his garden even more productive, he requested a solar water system and greenhouses to improve efficiency.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Search organization and the National Organization for Development of Afghanistan, Mohammad was given the tools he needed to succeed. He received a kitchen gardening training manual, vegetable seeds, agricultural tools, and $75 in cash assistance. He was encouraged to use these resources wisely—not just for himself but for the well-being of his family and the greater community.
This small garden has grown into something bigger—a symbol of resilience, opportunity, and the power of humanitarian support in transforming lives. Step by step, Mohammad is moving towards a future filled with hope
