In the rural regions of Afghanistan, widows and women often face overwhelming challenges, struggling to support their families with limited resources and few opportunities to earn a livelihood. Traditional skills, like carpet-making, are part of Afghanistan’s rich cultural heritage and can provide women with a way to generate income while building a sustainable future. By teaching these skills, we can empower Afghan women, giving them both an opportunity to learn and a path to financial independence.
Qalam Relief is committed to building a Carpet-Making School for Women in these rural communities. This school will offer widows and women from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to learn the art of carpet weaving, creating high-quality carpets that will be sold to support their families. The proceeds from these carpet sales will be reinvested in the program, sustaining it and helping even more women benefit from this life-changing opportunity.
Our Vision: Building Skills and Hope
With your support, we will create a safe and empowering environment where women can develop practical skills, work together, and earn a stable income. This school will provide access to training, materials, and equipment, along with a supportive community that fosters growth and resilience. Learning carpet-making is more than just acquiring a skill; it’s a path to independence, confidence, and a stronger future.
Why Your Support Matters
For many of these women, this school is a rare chance to learn, earn, and contribute to their families. With your help, we can offer hope to widows and women who have endured hardship, giving them the tools to transform their lives through skill and self-reliance.
