Wardak is a largely Pashtun province located less than an hour from Kabul. The landscape consists of rugged hills with mud house villages tucked away behind them. Although close to Kabul, it is a rural area without much development. Like much of the country, Wardak is still lacking in education, healthcare and social facilities. In 1997, during the Taliban, construction began in one village on a school for both boys and girls, an orphanage for boys and a clinic, which was the only available in the area for many years. While the school has been successful, and even added a dormitory for girls, the clinic had been without doctors, nurses and supplies for some time. Many people, particularly women in labor, were still coming to the clinic, only to find out, it was no longer open.

The Mountain Hope Foundation has since  employed a doctor and two nurses to work at the clinic. Medical supplies and medicines are also being provided and the doors are now open again accepting patients. Maintaining the school, orphanage,girl's dormitory and clinic has been financed by fund raisers in the US and, now, The Mountain Hope Foundation is happy to lend their efforts.
