Benafsha Sekandari was once a teacher, dedicated to educating the next generation of Afghan girls. When the schools were closed for girls, her dream of teaching was suddenly taken away. Refusing to give up, Benafsha found a new path with Zindagi Now, training as a jeweller. Today, she proudly creates jewellery to support her two daughters and young son, turning resilience into artistry. Benafsha says: “Even though I cannot teach in a classroom anymore, my jewellery tells stories of strength and hope. Through my work, I am showing my children that we can always find new ways to stand tall.”
