DONATE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Your direct engagement with ARZU STUDIO HOPE by donating professional services or products (or by providing discounted pricing) can make a meaningful difference in the lives of Afghan women and their families. With your help, we are able to share our mission, programs, and philosophy broadly, while substantially reducing the costs of our U.S. Operations.
Arzu’s ultimate objective to become fully self-funding is dependent on driving sales of our beautiful hand-knotted rugs in developed countries. Marketing, advertising, web and promotional support help us to expand our distribution channels. Design, manufacturing and textile expertise enables us to constantly improve product quality; while technology, logistical, accounting, and legal assistance helps us organize and operate the most efficient organization possible.
Budget-relieving products and services substantially reduce the costs of our US operations. Assistance with the following would be greatly appreciated:
| Advertising Space | Printing | Travel |
To discuss how you or your company can provide funding and/or in-kind donations of goods or services, please contact ARZU STUDIO HOPE Chief Operating Officer Alyssa Rome.
