What Does $6,500 Buy? A Healthier, Happier Village

QARABATUR is a small village nestled on a mountain in Kunduz Province in northern Afghanistan. Like many Afghan villages, it is impossibly remote. --- The drive is trying, but well worth it. From the village, the view below is stunning: desert and soft mountain ranges, the sky topaz blue, the air still and cool. The village leader, Daoud, told me that in spring, the mountainside explodes with bursts of yellow, purple and red flowers.
