Rug Weaver Woman

Written by: Aqsa Sediqi

Belqis, a resident of Kabul city says:

My mother had been weaving rug from years back and when I was 5 years old, I started to help her. I learned rug weaving during a month. When we were outside the country, I had been weaving rugs and selling them and now I could weave any kind of rugs and I could weave a 6 meters rug in a month.

Nowadays I work in one carpet waving company and I train 25 pupils and get about 400 Afghanis per meter carpet weaving.

Investment on an institute:

those are more successful in business who consider the need of the market and customers.

The writer/producer has talked to Tufail Ahmad, director of a private institute in Kabul city.

Tufail Ahmad says: As the most of the auditors are invited to Afghanistan from abroad, especially from India and Pakistan and the offices pay them a lot, we thought that it would be better to train some auditors and counters here in Afghanistan. We established our institute about half a year ago and spent about 2 million Afghanis on it and this is the only institute of its kind in Afghanistan.

 Now 70 students are studying in this institute and they are teaching by foreign professors.

They would graduate after the completion of four years studying and would get international certificates and could get jobs inside and outside the country.
