The annual Khawa Dune Challenge, a national motorbike rally, has been a major source of income in recent years, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Proceeds from the challenge in 2013 supported the establishment of the Karakul sheep project, which is now receiving local government funding and creating employment opportunities for young people.

Funds have been released by the local council for a slaughterhouse, according to press reports, and designers and artisans are being invited to create accessories and clothing from the sheepskin.
