Connie Duckworth, founder of Arzu Studio Hope, glances over books inside the library at the newly refurbished women's center in Lashkar Gah, Afghanistan on June 8. Duckworth visited Helmand province to survey potential sites to expand operations like the women's center in Bamyan, Afghanistan.  The women's center employs women weavers to create high-end woven rugs. To work for Arzu, women sign a contract agreeing to send all of their children to school until age 15 and take literacy classes themselves. Also, pregnant women and mothers of newborns are to accept transportation to medical care.
