Over the last year and half, united➃design has been working with the aid organization Sahar on the Gohar Khatoon Girls’ School, which is currently under construction, and we are also planning a boarding school for rural women and girls–both projects are located in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan’s fourth largest city. Working in a place like Afghanistan has made us acutely aware of resources and how material flows can reflect the country’s recent history.
