73-% of women living in Armenia are unemployed, although their physical, mental and perception abilities are enough to work and simultaneously support their family. For centuries Armenian women master and continue applying many branches of embroidery art: Carpet weaving, knitting, needlework, crocheting etc.
Unfortunately they cannot use their abilities and opportunities for their own benefits. Armenian women don’t have resources to use their abilities, consumption market either.
With the help of Indiegogo our team tries to create some conditions to solve this social problem. We try to create a field of self-expression for thousands of unemployed women, who are able to work and care for the needs of their family and their own at the same time be useful to you and to us. Please have a look. We need to share it and find help to solve this social problem what is really very important for most part of women in Armenia.
