The Impact of Experiences on Economic Activities:

Written by: Aqsa Sedqi

There are many government and non-government organizations in Afghanistan and some large numbers of Afghans are involved in a job in these entities. Those, who have lost their jobs, how could solve their economic problems?

The writer/producer AEPO has talked to Nazifa Jalali, a former employee of a non-government organization.

She says:

I did not wish to lose my job but they dismissed me and I did not sit idle. I started handicrafts. I like to expand handicrafts in a new way and a new design. I make logos, signboards, photo frames, penners and some other home decorative materials from wood and cloth and I show them in exhibitions and solve my economic problems.

Handicrafts shop:

Nadira is a resident of Bamyan province. She produces different handicrafts and has opened a shop for her handicraft productions in Bamyan.

She says: At the beginning, I had been producing just one kind of handicrafts in a single design but later I participated in some one-day workshops in producing, designing, collection and sales. In those workshops I learned how to make verities of handicrafts such as Hazaragi shawl, clothes, gloves and also, I make shoes from felt and I am happy with my business.
