Born in Japan, Nakamura had been granted honorary citizenship in Afghanistan, reflecting the deep connections he forged with the country through his extensive humanitarian work. Apart from medical aid, he focused on constructing water canals, which were crucial for irrigation and agriculture in the arid region.

His most significant achievement was the creation of a 20 mile canal sourced from the Kunar River, which now irrigates hundreds of acres of farmland. He has impacted millions of people.

Following Nakamura’s passing, a non-governmental organization named PMS has taken up the cause to continue building canals and dams in the region.
Here is a beautiful film on his impact. Let’s not let terror win. Watch the movie, Water, Not Weapons below.
