United Nations: We help women expand their businesses

The United Nations Development Programme says that by providing targeted financial packages, it helps women expand their businesses.
The Afghanistan office of the organization this afternoon (Wednesday, April 1) shared the story of a women-led business called “Jasmin Nursery,” which, after receiving a $10,000 grant and a $7,500 loan, has been able to achieve significant growth.
This business, based in Balkh, focuses on the production of handicrafts, including embroidery, clothing, bags, and other items.
The United Nations Development Programme, with financial support from the European Union, has launched a women’s empowerment program through which it supports local small businesses run by women.
