Afghanistan: life reborn with a pasta factory
The return of the Taliban had stopped the business of Sima, an Afghan pasta maker. She was able to resume her business with support that arrived from Italy, bringing many women from her country back to work. Thanks to the partnership between the association “She works for Peace” led by Selene Biffi (a social entrepreneur working in Afghanistan since 2009) and the Girolomoni farming cooperative represented by Maria Girolomoni, communications manager, and Daniela Bellini, quality manager, Sima’s dream came true. As a result, the pasta factory has reopened and 11 women are now working there again, including Sima. Girolomoni has provided the resources needed to cover the first months of operation.
