 These brave women are part of the Afghan Women's Project, which is an organization to help Afghan women acquire skills and opportunity in the marketplace. They create intricately hand-embroidered items, such as tablecloths and aprons, and then sell these high-quality items to help provide for the necessities of life, including their children's education. Because many men in Afghanistan still believe that women should remain inside their homes, supporting these courageous women in their efforts helps pave a way for positive cultural changes.
