Kandahar Treasure
Kandahar Treasure is a women-owned and operated social enterprise where artisans practice Khamak, a centuries-old fine hand embroidery technique passed down through maternal ancestry.
Founded in 2008 as the first of its kind in the region, the enterprise has helped women sustain this craft while building economic independence amid difficult circumstances.
