Mubina, 32, lives with her mother, siblings, and extended family in a one-room lodge. Mubina and her relatives are mourning the recent death of her father, and they are deep in debt after paying $500 for his funeral. Since joining ARZU’s program, Mubina says life has improved. “The bonus money is helping us solve our problems,” Mubina says. “We didn’t even have warm clothes to wear in the winter, and now we have everything.”

I love the Turkman rugs the most. And of that collection Understanding is my favorite. The intense colors and patterns are so singular to the Afghan people, their country and their traditions.
