Afghanistan
My name is Bibi Shahida Hamidi, and I run a home-based clothing business called Online Clothing Store in Arghandab District, Kandahar. I learned tailoring through experience and by observing skilled professionals. I started this work from inside my own home, with the simple goal of earning halal income for my family. At first, it was just a way to support household expenses, but today, I proudly work with a team of 15 women, all committed to creating beautiful handmade clothing. Our specialty is handcrafted Afghan dresses, made with care and tradition. Everything we make is tailored at home, and we sell directly to local shopkeepers and traders, who recognize the quality of our work. My inspiration came from the responsibility to provide for my family. Even without formal education or a shop in the market, I knew that my hands could create value. That belief has turned into a full-time livelihood—not just for me, but for the other women I work with. Now, with the support of Aseel, we have the chance to take our work beyond our village. Aseel connects us to customers who appreciate handmade goods, and who want to support women building a future through their own skills. When you support Online Clothing Store, you’re helping a team of Afghan women earn with dignity, grow with confidence, and bring tradition to life—one dress at a time.
