FBMI Authentic Afghanistan Rug
These beautifully woven rugs are more than just decorative, they support Afghan women and children who are striving for a better life. By partnering with Tanweer Investments based in Afghanistan, Fatema Bint Mohammed Bin Zayed’s (FBMI) aim is to create sustainable development by empowering women. The Initiative provides women with employment in the carpet production process, an industry they already possess skills in. It also offers them and their families critical social services in healthcare and education. The result is a holistic effort whose benefits are seen not only in fruitful employment, but also in healthier and happier families and communities.
With 3,000 low income Afghanis employed, FBMI has already achieved significant success in helping the people of Afghanistan to help themselves. It is testament to the vision and commitment of Her Highness that so much has been accomplished already, and how much more is to come.
