Partner Profile: The Afghan Rug Shop

The Afghan Rug Shop's owner, James Wilthew (pictured), served for six months in Northern Afghanistan in 2004. While there, he bought several rugs to sell on and help pay for his wedding. 11 years on and after moving to West Yorkshire, he thought a rug shop might do well in Hebden Bridge.

James sources the shop’s rugs from markets, weavers and families across the Northern Provinces. The shop has a Label STEP licence, ensuring all of their products are ethically produced. But he wanted to do more.

"Partnering with Afghanaid means we are able to support the wider communities that our craftsmen and women come from. Given Afghanaid’s dedication to these communities – having worked with them for over 30 years - it took very little time to decide we had found the right charity to support. I’m really proud that The Afghan Rug Shop is supporting Afghanaid; it’s simply the right thing to do."

Partner Profile: Wild Frontiers

Wild Frontiers has been operating in Afghanistan since 2005, being among the first to run a commercial travel trip to the country for almost 30 years. In 2009, they ventured into the Wakhan Corridor in Badakhshan province, re-introducing tourism to one of the most remote areas on earth.

Supporting the vulnerable communities they visit has always been a part of the company ethos, according to Managing Director, Jonny Bealby: "In Afghanistan, we choose to support the work of Afghanaid because we know our contributions will aid long-term, effective educational and sustainable projects."

Wild Frontiers donates $100 for each person that travels with them to Afghanistan.

Partner Profile: Pretty Little Afghan

Pretty Little Afghan is a new start-up business based in the UK, offering an array of ethically sourced, handmade, traditional Afghan clothing. US customers can also visit the site here.

Wanting to make a difference to Afghan communities they have launch their “Giving Back Initiative” where a percentage from each sale will go straight towards supporting Afghanaid’s projects.

Having come to the UK as a refugee in 1997 from Afghanistan, Director Naim Dinarkhail says: "Researching potential charity partners for us to be able to take our Giving Back Initiative forward with was very simple. Afghanaid provides support to vulnerable families and communities who need it the most, stand up to women's rights and improve livelihoods, all of which fall under prettylittleafghan's philosophy."
