About Campaign

📍 Background In Afghanistan, many orphaned girls and widowed women face significant challenges. They often lack access to education and job opportunities, making it difficult to meet their basic needs. This campaign aims to change that by providing these women with the tools and training they need to build a better future. 🎯 Objective We plan to establish a sewing workshop where 250 women can learn valuable skills such as sewing, embroidery, literacy, and basic health education. The training will be conducted in three shifts to accommodate all participants. 🏠 Facilities and Infrastructure We have identified a suitable location with the capacity to accommodate up to 400 individuals. To make this space operational, we need to: • Construct a 30-square-meter room • Build two restrooms and a kitchen • Dig a water well These facilities will be built using traditional methods to ensure comfort in both hot and cold seasons. 🧵 Required Equipment ($5,000) • 30 manual sewing machines • 3 overlock machines • 2 zigzag machines • 1 buttonhole machine • 3 embroidery machines • 1 ice machine • 5 irons • 10 scissors • 10 measuring tapes 📚 Educational Materials • Health Education: $200 for initial materials and supplies • Literacy Program: $100 for whiteboards, books, and notebooks • Modern Sciences: $200 for educational resources 💡 Program Benefits • Provide professional training to 250 women • Equip graduates with sewing machines and initial materials to start their own businesses • The clothing produced will either be given to the participating families or sold, with the income directly benefiting these women • Potential distribution of monthly food packages in later stages of the program 📷 Transparency and Reporting We are committed to transparency. Regular reports, including photos and videos, will be shared to showcase the program's progress and impact. 👩🎓 Future Plans After successfully implementing this program for women, we plan to launch similar initiatives for men, focusing on skills such as mobile and computer repair, engineering, carpentry, and metalworking. 🤝 How You Can Help If you support this initiative, please contribute through the campaign. If you're unable to donate, sharing the link with friends and family would be greatly appreciated. Remember: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." By supporting this campaign, you're helping these women acquire skills that will enable them to provide for themselves and their families for years to come.
