Mission

At Kandahar Treasure, we are dedicated to reviving the rare and unique embroidery of Kandahar and empowering women in the process.”

We are successfully accomplishing our mission by :

• Giving economic independence to women who are home-bound – an important first step in the attainment of their rights and freedom;
• Exposing the art form of Kandahar embroidery to a national and international audience;
• Giving women an opportunity to provide financially for themselves and their families;
• Enhancing the value of a woman inside her home through her income;
• Raising awareness among women of Kandahar about the importance of contributing to the family financially and of economics in the society at large;
• Sharing information on a range of topics, including educational opportunities for women and children, social events for women, government-sponsored and NGO programs, and health and hygiene education that is not otherwise available to the majority of participants in Kandahar.
