My name is Hakima Mohammadi, and I am from District 12, Sakhinoabad Camp area, Mazar-e-Sharif, Balkh Province. I am currently a seventh–semester BBA student in the Department of Economics at Kharazmi University.
I come from a family of seven members, including my father, mother, two sisters, two brothers, and myself.
I am the founder of Mahoor Handicraft Company, a wool-spinning and carpet-making enterprise. The company has approximately 70 women engaged in wool spinning and 15 women working in carpet weaving. I have been working in this field for nearly four years. The products we produce include carpet yarn and a variety of traditional, hand-woven Afghan carpets.
I have also gained professional experience working with several offices, including Guligal Canada, KoKo Office, Harekat Office, and other organizations in different roles.
I started this business at a time when educational restrictions were placed on women and girls by the current authorities. I was inspired to create an opportunity for myself while generating income and employment for individuals who support their families.
My goal is to develop and strengthen my personal and professional growth, enhance my skills in the field of economics, expand my business internationally, and promote the traditional handicraft sectors—especially wool-spinning and carpet weaving—across Afghanistan and beyond.
