OUR STORY


Back in 2007, whilst working in Lashkar-Gah, Southwestern Afghanistan, I asked if there was anything I could do to help the provincial women find a means of income outside of opium production. Fast-forward a couple of years and with our combined efforts, the women of Afghnaistan now have the opportunity to sell these wonderful, hand-crafted dolls and earn a living to support themselves.
