Billion dollars is the value of the global carpet market, yet only a small fraction reaches the weavers
Population in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan rely on carpet weaving for their livelihood
Handmade carpets come from rural South Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, where wages can be as low as $1 a day
Many individuals possess traditional skills, such as carpet weaving, but lack the infrastructure, raw materials, or market access to turn those skills into sustainable income. Without these opportunities, they are left to work long hours in unsafe environments or depend on inconsistent labor work that offers no long-term security.
In areas where such facilities are not available, people with the skill to weave carpets are often forced to abandon the craft due to a lack of support. BGR aims to change this reality through its Carpet Weaving Initiative.
With your help, BGR can open more weaving centers, employ more skilled hands, and ensure that these beautiful, traditional crafts become a source of stability and pride for generations to come. Your support of BGR’s Carpet Weaving Initiative offers more than a job. It gives struggling families a path out of poverty and restores dignity through meaningful work.
