Razia, who was born in 1973, is a mother of 4 children and lives in district 13 of Kabul, Afghanistan.

During the war she started weaving carpets with her 3 sons at home, but due to a lack of materials she wasn't able to complete the carpets. Then she took a 1st cycle loan through AFSG to buy thread, wood, carpet patterns and other materials.

Razia's sons are very quick at weaving carpets. They are able to complete one carpet in six months, after which her husband sells the carpet at the market. Through this process they can make a profit.
