Hamida

Hamida is 16 years old. She fled Maidan Wardak Province where they lived in Behsood District. After her father was killed in inter-communical fighting, her mother decided to leave Behsood for Kabul.

Hamida lives in Pole Sokhta where they rent a room for Af1000 per month. She lives with five other members of her family. Her mother is cleaning other people’s homes.

Hamida will be the second breadwinner in the family once she graduates from Afghan Action’s carpet training centre in Karte Se.

Her wish is one day to be able to have a loom and weave carpets in her house to sell in the market.
