WHEN WE SUPPORT AFGHAN WOMEN TO EARN THEIR OWN INCOME FOR THEM IT IS LIKE BREAKING OUT OF PRISON
Women with an income are respected, experience less domestic violence, have better mental health, send their daughters to school, advocate for women’s rights and for the first time in their lives
FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES
AFGHAN WOMEN EMPOWERED THROUGH HAVING THEIR OWN INCOME ARE COMMITTED TO IMPROVING SERVICES FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES
Women find confidence and a sense of identity by succeeding in business and this motivates them to pressure local government to improve services such as: schooling, rubbish collection, clean water, policing and public transport for women
AFGHAN WOMEN EMPOWERED THROUGH HAVING THEIR OWN INCOME BECOME COMMITTED SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS
All women supported by us to succeed in a micro business improve their livelihoods and find self-respect but the most exceptional women want to expand into a social enterprise extending their own success to help others
