Two female Afghan entrepreneurs share a product, and a mission: Soccer balls as a means to financial independence for Afghan women.

Taj and Aziza were heading up their own businesses, each employing women in the manufacture of soccer balls; Aziza in Kabul, and Taj in Daikundi Province. They separately had the idea: Afghan women’s self-reliance is linked to steady work-from-home income.

The non-profit organization Bpeace suggested they combine efforts.
