Training program for jewellery smiths in Kabul

Dear Donor,

thank you for your support so far for the project "Training program for female jewellery smiths". As you surely know, the situation for girls and women in Afghanistan is deteriorating rapidly since the Taliban took power in August 2021. Due to the many planning uncertainties that go hand in hand with the Taliban regime, there may still be some adjustments to the project. Of course we will inform you about this.

In general, we would like to use this report once again to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan:

More than 29 million people (almost three quarters of the population!) in the country depend on humanitarian assistance to survive. Over half of them are children. In addition, more than 3.25 million people are on the run within the country: fleeing natural disasters, conflicts, or in search of work. Many of them live in camps for internally displaced persons under catastrophic conditions.

Women and girls are banned from public life under the Taliban. Their rights to learn, work and move freely are massively restricted. They are only allowed to travel or go to the doctor with a male escort. Visiting parks or playing sports is forbidden for them.

Under these circumstances, it can be difficult to remain hopeful, but we must not forget the people of Afghanistan now more than ever. The situation of children and women in Afghanistan is rapidly deteriorating and the denial of their basic rights is unacceptable. We must continue to put pressure on the de facto government and stand up for their rights!

For this we are still dependent on your support and are happy about every donation.

Thank you very much!

Best wishes,

Celine from Visions
