These initiatives aim to strengthen the economies of low-income families.<\/p>\n<p>Khalil-ur-Rahman Siddiqui, head of publications at Laghman&#8217;s Department of Economics, stated that 400 individuals received work tools after completing a six-month training course. According to him, these aids were provided by the United Nations Women\u2019s organizations, valued at 2.8 million Afghanis.<\/p>\n<p>According to provided information, each person received a sewing machine stand, iron, scissors, gas cylinder, table, and other necessary items to enable them to start small economic activities at home or in their living areas after graduation.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate report, the Northeast Zone Hunger Relief Directorate in Kunduz announced the graduation of 50 impoverished women from five-month vocational training courses. Mawlavi Ubaidullah Zubair, head of this directorate, said these women were trained in livestock management, embroidery, and fruit drying.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the program aims to economically empower needy families. Additionally, each of these women will receive 46,500 Afghanis in two installments.<\/p>\n<p>Economic experts emphasize that continuing such programs and creating market opportunities for home-based products play a crucial role in sustaining the incomes of low-income families. Otherwise, one-time aid alone cannot fundamentally solve the widespread issues of unemployment and poverty in the provinces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work tools and cash aid distributed to 450 vocational training graduates in Laghman and Kunduz to empower low-income families economically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-social-affairs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
