Now I have an income
Kabul: Ms Storay is 40 years old and from District 11 (GA 1B, CDC# 3). She has been living in the community for 15 years. “This project had both social and economic impacts on my family. Through this project I was able to be familiar with the CDC3 in GA 1B in District 11. We have been mobilized in CDC level and the CDC members are providing good suggestions and advice for the improvement of our life situation. The project has decreased our social problems and improved the behaviour of our family members. In addition, I have learned about jewellery making, made jewellery and sold them in the market. I also now have income from the jewellery market.”
There are several benefits to all people, she said. Everyone who has worked in this project have direct benefit, for example the skilled labour, unskilled labour (130 people) and project staff. In this project, we introduced the new technology like new jewellery machines.
Storay says that the challenges they faced for the implementation of the project was family prohibition, illiteracy of the CDC members, and lack of security in the area. “I really want the Jewellery project to be a model project for all men and women who are living in CDC #3. Besides, through providing public awareness and sharing my experience with others, we could make the project famous among the residents of District 11.”
