The ARCS provided vocational tailoring training and livelihood support to 50 women in Baharak and Ishkamish districts of Takhar Province who were affected by natural disasters and climate change.

The participants are scheduled to receive vocational tailoring training for six months at four training centers under the supervision of professional instructors, and certificates will also be awarded to them upon completion of the training.

Before the start of the vocational training, the women or their guardians received 450,000 Afghanis in cash assistance for the purchase of tailoring equipment and necessary materials, with 9,000 Afghanis allocated to each woman.

This program is being implemented by the Risk Reduction Unit of the ARCS Disaster Management Department within the framework of the Climate Change Project, with financial support from the IFRC. The aim is to enhance women’s vocational skills, strengthen economic empowerment, create employment opportunities, and reduce the economic challenges caused by climate change.

The ARCS strives to provide vulnerable segments of society with opportunities for work, income, and self-reliance through vocational and livelihood programs.
