LAWANG
LAWANG embodies the spirit of connecting hearts globally. Founded by women, for women, our mission is clear – to empower Afghan women artisans by providing them a platform to showcase their handmade creations on the global stage and focuses on the promotion and production of Afghan handicrafts and fashion design. Operating directly from Afghanistan, we extend our support to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), aiding them in reaching global buyers. Our commitment goes beyond commerce; we assist these businesses in establishing their social media presence and promoting their unique offerings. LAWANG firmly believes in the transformative power of technology to bring positive changes to the lives of artisans. In a country with an ancient history and rich culture like Afghanistan, appreciation and support are not just gestures but necessities. Join us on this journey to make a difference, one handmade creation at a time. At this initial stage of our journey, we are actively seeking partners and collaborators to join us in developing this empowering venture. LAWANG operates on dual fronts: introducing the world to the exquisite handmade products of Afghan artisans and making a meaningful impact on the livelihoods of underprivileged communities through donations. LAWANG’s name is derived from Pashtu terminology and means clove which is a fragrant plant and was traditionally used by women as a clothing perfume.
