Zarmina lost both her husband and one of her sons in the earthquake. His three young children, Ajab Gul, Abdul Rahman, and Sayed Mir, are now fatherless. Zarmina’s daughter-in-law shares her grief, and the three young children are slowly beginning to understand what death means.
The family’s entire belongings were destroyed by the natural disaster, so they now have to make do with a flimsy tent that can barely withstand wind and rain, let alone the freezing winter temperatures.
Like hundreds of other families in Mazar Dara, this household has suffered both emotionally and financially. Their livestock, their only source of income and livelihood, perished under the rubble. Their only remaining hope lies in financial support through sponsorship.
