Since the launch of our online sales portal www.madebyafghanwomen.com, the Global Women's Trade Caravan has made significant strides in empowering women entrepreneurs across Afghanistan. We have successfully trained over 70 women business owners from more than five provinces, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge to thrive in the digital marketplace. Through this initiative, we have established 68 online shops on the portal, providing these women with a platform to showcase and sell their products to a wider audience. Our efforts aim to not only enhance their business capabilities but also to foster economic growth and promote gender equality in the entrepreneurial landscape of Afghanistan. We are committed to continuing our support for these talented women as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of online commerce.
