Rebuilding Hope in Afghanistan

In the isolated mountains of northeast Afghanistan, 18-year-old Hnfna’s life changed forever when she walked into a minefield while collecting firewood, losing her foot and part of her leg. With FSD’s support, Hnfna found new perspectives, not just for herself but also for her family.
