Yarning: Women Teaching Women in Badakhshan
In Gunbaz Balocha, Rise to Peace piloted a women-led textile and handicraft project with five skilled female artisans, six learners, a local project manager and logistical support. The idea was practical: preserve skills, create a space for women to learn together and test pathways toward home-based income.
