A new bakery in Pul-e-Khumri, the capital of Baghlan province, is helping women earn money for themselves and offering them a chance of financial independence.
Ten women were identified as needy and enrolled in the project by the Department for Women’s Affairs and the Agha Khan Foundation.
The women were trained for 15 days on confectionery skills, management and marketing and now they’re selling their products in the local market.
