Women in war-torn Afghanistan are working hard to make a better life for themselves through crafting this beautiful jewelry
for you.
Madina Handicrafts Community (MHC) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) and non-political organization that's
registered with the Ministry of Justice Government of Afghanistan.
MHC's mission is to empower vulnerable and disabled women by promoting literacy, health education, life skills and
basic business training to help them and their families become self-sustainable.
Madina Handicrafts Community works with over 200 women, many of whom are disabled,
in Kabul, Qarabagh and Wardak provinces in Afghanistan. It provides short term training programs in tailoring, handicrafts and jewelry design.
Shaima Shafaq, the woman who hosts the Kabul workshop in her modest home, was shot by an
Afghan soldier and was then inspired to create opportunities for other Afghan women who became victims of war.
Important Note! Some of the clasps shown in these photos have been altered for comfort and adjustability. All clasp styles are listed along with the dimensions. We will have updated photos available in the near future, but for now please know that: |
Most necklaces have what we call the variable or "V" clasp. This is a traditional lobster claw clasp with a 2" extension chain for variable length. |
Most bracelet clasps are toggle style "T" clasps. |
All earrings come with hypoallergenic, Sterling-Silver hooks. |
