Recently returned to Switzerland, she is now involved in her association and as a French-English-Afghan interpreter, three languages she masters perfectly. <br><br>During her 10 years in Kabul, Rohina has run several projects leading to self-sufficiency and financial independence for vulnerable and exposed women, in parallel with her professional life in finance. She has helped them to strengthen their capacities and rights. Her increased knowledge of micro-credit\/micro-financing schemes and their long-term effect on the beneficiaries tells her that a simple sewing machine can work wonders! These women have nothing, they are in total misery. Once they are sheltered with their children, they have only one desire: to get out of it. With a sewing machine and some fabric, they can work, make clothes for themselves and their children, but also sell them. In these times of pandemic, they make protective masks against the coronavirus and sell them on the market. In this way, they are lifted out of poverty, become self-sufficient and can regain the face they have lost. They can send their children to school and promise them a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hopeforafghanwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Prix_FVC-1024x532.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rohina Samim au Prix Diaspora et d\u00e9veloppement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\"><blockquote><p>\u00a0\"I have lived for the last ten years in the heart of this country which is also mine, Afghanistan.
