UNDP supports women’s businesses in Afghanistan
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) reported that women entrepreneurs in Kunduz and Baghlan provinces, Afghanistan, grew their businesses with the organization’s help.
This expansion created jobs and allowed more women and girls to pursue education and income. In Baghlan province, a tailoring center received funding and equipment, allowing it to hire more women and begin offering training in tailoring and embroidery.
The center now trains 15 women and girls who previously lived outside of Afghanistan, enabling them to earn money by completing customer orders. UNDP stated that supporting these women strengthens local businesses and gives other women the chance to develop skills and financial independence. The organization continues to provide assistance to women entrepreneurs in these two Afghan provinces.
