The Road to a Stable Afghanistan
Self-Reliant Businesses & Job Creation
Leading the Shift from
Donor-Driven to
Self-Reliant Business
Economic Prosperity is the key to peace and stability in Afghanistan. This requires sustainable businesses and job opportunities for all.
AFGHANreach provides expert consultancy and technology services to individuals and organizations working to support the development of Afghan-led, women-driven enterprises , and potential employers, that are culturally grounded and economically viable.
We work with both donors and private sector actors on practical strategies tied to deep local understanding, operational best practices, upskilling, technology, as well as shared information, markets and networks.
"Afghan women are a strategic solution to Afghanistan's development challenges . . . .
not the problem to be solved."

Kandahar Treasure
Since 2013, Kandahar Treasure (KT) has empowered over 0000 women embroiderers with the means to support themselves and their families—whether from home or within KT’s welcoming workshop. Many of these women are widowed, divorced, or single, and the income they earn is not just meaningful—it’s essential for their survival and their children’s well-being.
​
KT provides everything they need to thrive: high-quality materials, expert training, access to both local and international markets, and above all, a safe, supportive community where their artistry and dignity are honored.

Why partner with AFGHANreach?
Women entrepreneurs are already

We bring deep expertise across business strategy, facilitation and learning, operations, technology, and government. Using this foundation, we help build dynamic, connected entrepreneurial communities throughout Afghanistan—spaces where knowledge, experience, resources, and innovation flow freely.
​
We enable communities to accelerate the adoption of future-focused business practices and open doors to both domestic and global markets. Together, we’re not just supporting businesses—we’re shaping a thriving, resilient economic future led by Afghan women.
