Providing technical and market support to leather tanners in Faryab Province

This six-month project aims at alleviating poverty amongst leather tanners in Charam Gari village (Pashtonkot district, Faryab province) through the improvement of production techniques and market knowledge. It will improve the working conditions and technical ability of targeted leather tanners and facilitate access to local markets as part of a strategy of increasing profits obtained from the sale of finished goods. This GTZ-funded project will directly benefit to an estimated 240 tanners in 30 factories, and approximately 200 households will benefit from improved income levels.
