Why This Matters

• 85% of Afghan women lack stable income (World Bank).

• 1 in 3 girls will never attend school (UNICEF).

• Widows & female heads of households struggle to survive day-to-day.

In Afghanistan, millions of women are denied education and economic opportunities. Many are widows, displaced, or trapped in poverty with no way to feed their children. Compassionate Afghanistan’s Women’s Business & Skills Program gives them the tools to transform their lives—through training, mentorship, and market access. But we can’t do it alone.

Your support provides:

• Vocational training (tailoring, weaving, baking, leatherwork).

• Business skills (financial literacy, marketing, entrepreneurship).

• Market access (connecting women to buyers & cooperatives).

• A lifeline for the most vulnerable (widows, orphans, and displaced) women.

Our Goal:

• Train 500 Women This Year

• $150 sponsors one woman’s training and startup supplies.

• $5,000 funds an entire vocational workshop.
