Mir Agha’s Story: A Dignified Path to Self-Reliance
Apr 04, 2026
Mir Agha, a resident of Pul-e-Khumri city, lives with his wife and four children in a rented home. Both of his legs are paralyzed, and only one of his hands functions partially. To support his family, he sold small snacks such as chips and biscuits from a handcart outside his house — often using borrowed money to restock his supplies.
Despite reaching out to various organizations, he had received no meaningful support. His limited mobility and the responsibility of raising young children left him in a very difficult situation, both financially and emotionally.
Through an Aseel campaign, Mir Agha received the support he needed to expand his small business into a proper shop. He can now purchase goods in larger quantities, earn a steady income, and provide daily essentials for his family.
Today, Mir Agha’s shop stands as a symbol of resilience — proof that with the right support, dignity and independence can be restored.
