I am Fatemeh Shams, originally from Samangan and currently residing in Herat. I hold a degree in law and am married. I have been active in the handicrafts field for over 16 years. From the beginning, I aspired to be an independent and working woman, while also creating job opportunities for other women to encourage them toward activity and self-confidence. Our products include carpets, kilims, silk chadors, Afghan clothing, traditional curtains, bridal bedcovers, various embroidery and beadwork, decorative cushions, and different ceremonial dresses. Currently, 18 employees and 30 apprentices collaborate with us. My goal is to promote handicrafts, preserve authentic Afghan culture, and enhance the capacity of Afghan women.
