Bkat Nazera, 29, started her business designing and sewing clothes in 2003. After the Taliban fell, she teamed up with a @CARE program to train widows and their daughters to sew so they can work for her to earn a living.

Most of her relatives do not know that she has this business; they would not approve. Bkat has dreams of growing her business and opening shops in other Provinces and eventually other countries. #WidowsDay
