It was a huge achievement for a boy born into a nomadic family in southern Afghanistan. He went on to train as a medic and now lives in the United States. Dr Kharoti is now helping to give a new generation of Afghans a chance. His Green Village Schools charity supports education for children in Shin Kalay village, Helmand province. His lecture, ‘The Role of Education in Rural Afghanistan: Democracy and educated mothers in the case of Nad-e Ali district, Helmand’ will be chaired by Mike Martin, a previous speaker, and PhD student at the War Studies Department.
