Women learning embroidery

Embroidery project

Some of the very first Monsoon dresses came from Kabul, using traditional Afghan embroidery. Afghanistan is now one of the poorest countries in the world, following years of civil war and conflict. With Monsoon's 35th birthday this year, it is appropriate that we should return to help some of the poorest sections of Afghan society.

This project will train 30 disadvantaged Afghan women in textiles and embroidery, combining traditional techniques with modern design and offering them valuable skills and a sustainable living.
