Project to help Afghan women launched

DUBAI: MIRA, a social enterprise of the Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative (FBMI), which supports less fortunate women in Afghanistan has officially been launched.

To inaugurate the launch, MIRA has unveiled a special collection of premium dried fruits, nuts and saffron this Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr.

For the past ten years, FBMI has been working hard to provide the women of Afghanistan with various sources of income to maintain the unity of the Afghan family and livelihood.

During the 10-year journey, FBMI has created permanent and sustainable differences, and as a result came MIRA.
