Many of the women living in rural areas of Afghanistan
are highly skilled embroiderers. We aim to provide opportunities for them to generate an income using their embroidery skills.
We would like these small embroidered works of art
to become known beyond Afghanistan for people to enjoy, get inspired by and purchase. When people in other parts of the world incorporate these embroideries into their own textile work, two cultures become connected.
While many of the embroiderers in the villages are aware
that they are part of a larger world, they have a strong sense of their own national identity reflected in the appearance of maps and flags among the images.

The Guldusi embroidery program has been running since 2004. Many people contribute to its continued existence and success. From the embroidery produced in Afghanistan to its sale in Europe, there are many stages that must be overcome. After so many years, Guldusi owes its existence to a huge community of supporters who are involved in various ways out of solidarity.
Isn't that precisely what the world needs right now: to recognize others and support them in their time of need?
