00:00I started my work from surveying the most vulnerable families until I selected them and then we started the actual
00:09work and then we started the distribution of breed for women.
00:13We have three bakeries in three locations, three districts inside Kabul. In each district we have 37 women that we
00:23are helping. We have women that they lost their job due to the collapse of the government.
00:29We have some women that they couldn't continue their education due to the collapse of the government and we also
00:37have the women that are vetoed and they lost their husbands due to the war in Afghanistan.
00:43All of them are the only breed owner for the family. They don't have anyone to help them. They help
00:50themselves and also their children. Being at home is very hard and when, for example, when something is forced,
00:58it's like I'm at home because it's forced on me to be at home. Day by day I was getting,
01:05you know, my mental health was not nice.
01:09I was losing my hope. It was hard for me to struggle more. I was like, it's enough. How can
01:17I be strong more?
01:19Like, I cannot be strong when there are so many restrictions. For example, even I cannot go outside alone. You
01:26know, when I go outside, they ask you, like, you have to have a male company and like this, like
01:31that.
01:31So I was not good, like, like really, really not good mentally. But when I got this job, I went,
01:40I met a woman that are in worse situation than me, that are suffering than, like more than me.
01:47And they are stronger. They keep, like, they are suffering and they are keeping those energies and those, like, how
01:58can I say, like, I see them more energetic and hopeful for, like, for their futures.
02:04For example, if they have problems, they are not giving up, you know, I learned from those women and being
02:12in contact with those women, it's not a small number, you know, in three districts, I meet 37 women.
02:20I listen to their stories, their resilience, their struggles and everything that they face in their life.
02:28It made me to wake up again, you know, and to not give up on my dreams and on my
02:33hopes.
