IEEW Announces 2018 IWEC Awardee, Afsana Rahimi, Founder, Shayar Media Services, Afghanistan
Afsana worked for 10 years for Kellid Group of Companies (media and print) and started her own company in 2014. In a very male-dominated sector, she began selling and placing media ads, providing A-Z media services to businesses and organizations. The business has grown to 36 employees, supporting them in 34 different provinces in and around Afghanistan. She hopes to develop government contracts but has had a difficult time breaking the barriers for women in this field in her country. Afsana serves as a good role model to the younger female generation to step into entrepreneurship and business in Afghanistan.
Congratulations, Afsana!
