Plans for a new social enterprise
March 2021 - In Kabul we want to set up a woodworking company where unemployed young men have the opportunity to learn the work of a woodworker / carpenter. The woodworking company in Kabul makes furniture and custom interiors. Because of the specialist machines the company also can fullfill woodworking orders from third parties who do not have access to specialist machines.
SELF-DESIGNED DRESSES FROM KABUL
October 4, 2019 – In our sewing workshop, which is located in Kabul, approximately eight women make and design dresses. They are doing a great job, with the dresses for the current season having proven to be popular and having sold well. Last week, our manager loaded his car full of homemade dresses, which he took with him on a road trip through the different Afghan provinces. In just nine days, he was able to sell over 250 dresses! We all are very proud of him and his team. Are you interested in buying a homemade dress of Afghan design? Let us know, and we will place an order for you.
