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.
