I prepare dishes according to the order of my customers and my all customers are Afghans. My monthly net benefit reaches more than 30 thousand Afghanis.”

Taking benefit of extra materials:

Some objects seem useless, But some have been able to earn a good income by using these materials.
AEPO’s writer/producer has talked to Abas, another resident of Kabul city.
Abas says, “My profession is to replace the car windshield.  Once I decided to take benefit of the extra pieces of broken windshields. I kept the extra pieces of the windshield and cut them to the size of the car rearview mirror. When a car owner wants to buy a new rearview mirror, it costs higher and if he buys from me, it would be very cheaper.
I get about 2500-3000 Afghanis benefit from selling of rearview mirrors monthly.”
