DOSTI : Empowering Women Through...Soccer Balls?

Interesting story of female financial empowerment through self-employment. This organization is especially remarkable when you take note of the cultural context of Afghanistan, in which women are often confined to a vastly underprivileged social status. The business is operated and controlled entirely by women--many of them otherwise unemployed widows. DOSTI also allows women to work from their homes, which can offer them many benefits (per our discussion in class).
