- After the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan, education for girls and boys has been a rare commodity in a country where families must make devastating choices in order to guarantee their survival. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with Nargis Habib, a California entrepreneur who pays artisans in Afghanistan to produce beautiful woven rugs for a price that helps support families' financial freedom.

My heart goes out to the women who make these beautiful rugs.
The rugs are so beautiful. I pray for a better future for all of them.
_"Education becomes a casualty."_ I've been fortunate to see this first hand in developing countries and it makes me forever cognizant, but also empowered knowing we not only have that privilege but a responsibility to be aware and to contribute where we can.
This woman is an angel. I'm going to buy a rug.
An absolutely amazing. I love the rug making progress and what Nargis is doing is awesome as well as admirable. She definitely has my respect. Fiber Arts are my favorite,
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wacthing this should remind all Americans how lucky we are in many ways.
Bless this woman for her kindness and generosity. This is the kind of Capitalism that I want.
I try to remind both my American, Canadian and European friends that there are places/ situations much worse than their current situation. It doesn't mean what they are facing isn't difficult, but man...living under a 'theocracy' is the worst.
@@gunmetal2445 People in high income nations should thank their lucky stars that we do not face the same levels of oppression as other people in the world. The sheer audacity of the Taliban to ban women from participating in modern society under draconian rules (even women in the Middle Ages had civil rights!) is deplorable. Women in oppressed nations are seen as nothing more than baby factories and that is beyond disgraceful.
Theyre very special and creative.
I bought a beautiful rug and it arrived yesterday. My goodness, it’s heavy! And the handiwork is unbelievable and indescribable! Please support them and order a rug from The Rug Mine, Nargis will talk to you personally and you tell her the size and colors you want.
Beautiful, and here in San Diego! I wish I could afford a rug though.
I have seen rug making up close in person during my visit to Morocco and Istanbul showrooms. These are very tedious work and the pounding on the loomps is to compact/ compress the yarns so it's not loose
They are people who.are just like Us God made us all the same.
Beautiful ❤
How remarkable and so positive. Would it ever be possible to have one educated woman read to the weavers while they work; illustrate examples of math thru the money they earn: demonstrate science thru the dyes used - so many chances in a women only area. When women thrive and succeed so does the community
Rug making goes back way more than a century in Afghanistan. Before the 90s children learned rug making as tradition. Many households had little looms. Very special tradition.
BEAUTIFUL story ❤

Afghani carpets are beautiful (great display at International Folk Art Festival every year).
They are even more beautiful in their own country.
@@ronlacker326 so were you but that didn't sop you from migrating from a hoI in europe
I want your rugs i.pray for your people .
Do you really wanted to paid them??though .
Amazing!
In the early ‘90s, I bought a small-to-medium-sized rug from an Armenian store in Massachusetts and still have it. The selling point was that ‘it was made in Afghanistan, is washable’ and I could afford it. It means a lot to me still.
What an amazing memory. Thank you for sharing!
May God (or Allah) bless her and her endeavor. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
❤️🙏
❤ for Afghanistan. Hang in there. It'll get better. I know it will. 😊
For *Afghans, Afghani is a currency
It's great that she and her family are trying to help Afghan women but it's disheartening to see how low Afghan society has fallen in 20+ years. Banning women and girls from schools does absolutely nothing to advance society.
that is true that is why the US has made the taI i ban its proxy, to ensure never ending strife and poverty in these regions.
I wish that she could ship them to me. 😢
With all due respect, what am I missing here? Her company has worked with 4000 artisans and paid out $500,000 !!! That's $125 per rug weaver. And she lives in quite a nice house in CA and drives her kids to school in a Tesla. I appreciate what she went through, but forgive me if I don't compare her to Mother Theresa.
Why the judgment? Must she live in poverty in order to do good? Don't forget her husband works too and contributes to what you see. Also $125 per artist is probably more than you be done for them.
@@grat2010 I'm not the one judging. I'm merely repeating some $ numbers that she herself mentions, and they don't exactly add up to some of the highest levels of benevolent charity that I've seen.
@timmorin8105 Thank you for saying what I was thinking.
Thank you for your comment, which gives us the opportunity to clarify some important aspects of our work at The Rug Mine. Our $500,000 investment is part of a broader commitment that includes more than just weaving. Our artisans are involved in every step of the rug-making process-from hand-spinning the fine wool to the artistic design of each piece, reflecting a diverse range of skills and contributions. Some spend less than an hour on our projects while others may spend months weaving a rug. We invite you to view our detailed 6-minute video (see our TH-cam page) that explains the rug-making process, showcasing the craftsmanship and care at every step.
The lifestyle and achievements you see are the result of many years of dedicated, hard work, starting from humble beginnings. The Rug Mine was founded in a small condo with just a few rugs and has grown through a commitment to ethical practices and fair trade-a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and a clear ethical vision.
Our operations are transparent, and we’re proud to say that we’re a BBB4Good Profit + Purpose Business, recognizing our commitment to ethical practices. We believe in the power of education and invite you to explore our Fair Trade FAQs on our website (Click About” in menu), or even better, join us for a virtual tour to see firsthand the positive impact on our artisans’ communities.
We appreciate your engagement and encourage you to connect with us further through our newsletter or by participating in our upcoming webinars. Your understanding and support help us to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of our artisans.
Anybody know if the Taliban are getting paid for abusing the women of the country?
The slavery of women on over 1,400 years the slavery of women were over 1,400 years 0:12
Blurring faces is pointless when people know the one that isn't blurred.
Wake up AMERICA😡
She seems to be profiting way more than these poor women that are actually making these rugs and that's not right
Her margins must be amazing. There is now way she pays them more than a few bucks per rug lol
Oh yeah, she might as well not do it, I suppose? What are YOU doing?
@@humminahumminaAMEN! Privileged women are too quick to judge other women when we should ALL be lifting each other up at every opportunity presented to us!
#womensupportingwomen ❤
I will NEVER understand this mindset.
I wonder how much she paid for this advertisement video.
🤦🏻♀️
After what America spent there trying to help them and they fell to the taliban literally as the last American troops left, I can't say as I give a flying fig what those people do.
What a good human
You sound lovely. So nice of you to make a comment so the world knows the darkness in your heart.
There are roughly 200 nations on Earth. If we spent just half of the billions of US tax dollars that we spent on Afghanistan … well, I understand the sentiment. And not just the $, but the blood. After Vietnam, I thought we weren’t going to be the World’s Policeman anymore.
So many people (Americans, Afghans, overseas military members) died trying to save Afghanistan from itself and it was all for nothing with the Taliban back in power. Truly disgraceful to see how Afghanistan turned its back on democracy. Afghanistan pre-1980s was a modern society that welcomed and advocated for women's education. Iran too.
😮😢😥
