Afghanistan has been the historical centre of handwoven rugs in Asia. The art and craftsmanship of rug weaving in Afghanistan dates back to millennia. The industry has experienced a revival recently and Afghan rugs have been ranked the best in the world for the past three consecutive years. Innovation in the industry means that other products are being handmade from the rugs in Afghanistan and the kilim cushion covers are one of the most popular products.
Our aim is to create conflict sensitive jobs and help scale the kilim and rug cottage industry in the country by becoming the leading supplier to UK and EU. Rebuilding Afghanistan with trade not donations. Products are mainly sourced from women artisans, widows and extremely disadvantaged minority communities. Profits are pumped back into the project to create more jobs and scale production. By buying this cushion cover, you are supporting Afghanistan's cottage rug industry that employs millions of poor people, and through our nonprofit Buy From Afghanistan initiative, creating jobs for orphans, widows and ethnic minority communities.
