Dear Donor,
let's bring you up to date on our training program for female jewellery smiths: Thanks to all of your support, we were able to secure important pillars of the program in a doubling campaign with the Aurora Borealis Foundation. These will cover both the technical equipment of the training center in Kabul, as well as the salaries of the jeweller trainer, the project manager and the training salary of the 15 program participants.
Apart from that, we want to use this report to once again point out the importance of an education program for young women in Afghanistan. The job situation in Afghanistan is currently catastrophic: Unemployment has almost doubled since the Taliban took power. The chances of finding an apprenticeship are slim – for women in particular. With the jewellery smith project, we pursue the goal of strengthening the local economy and giving women the chance to lead a self-determined and independent life.
We would be very grateful if we could continue to count on your support!
All the best and take care,
Celine from Visions for Children
