Kasim, who has been working with Permaculture for Refugees (P4R), has co-authored a moving and inspiring new book with his partner, Zar, titled Our Journey from Afghanistan: A Story of Survival and Hope.
This deeply personal narrative begins with their childhoods in Afghanistan, revealing the harsh realities they endured—especially Zar’s experiences growing up under oppressive conditions. It follows their path into activism, working for peace and supporting vulnerable street children amidst increasing instability.
Their journey eventually took them to Pakistan, where they used permaculture to help build a strong, supportive refugee community. The book also recounts the emotional process of helping evacuate their community to Portugal, and the challenges and hopes they carried as they began a new life in a completely different country.
Our Journey from Afghanistan is more than a survival story—it’s a testament to courage, resilience, and the pursuit of a better future. It will move and inspire anyone who believes in the strength of the human spirit.
