Freshta Sarwaree has an immense passion to build economic security and independence for women in Afghanistan. She does this through her business and school, building a support network for the women in her community..
Sarwaree’s company, Green Choice, provides processed food, fruit, and spices for her customers. She has an all-women team, part of her desire to build women's independence and sense of purpose in the workforce.
Her life experience is a true asset to her community. She lived with her husband in Japan for graduate school, and while there she observed how Japan runs its kindergartens and sought to emulate the model for her students. The school has children in range from three months to six-years-old, providing a comprehensive school experience and child care setting for the students. The school has ten teachers and employs cooks, drivers, and security.
The latter remains a concern, as the return of the Taliban would be a devastating setback. Her husband, an engineer, is a strong source of support in her goal to raise women’s profile and create a stronger foundation for the future. With a six-year-old daughter, Sarwaree is determined the work she is doing will help create an Afghanistan where women are welcome and able to succeed.
