TM, a non-profit in Afghanistan, is committed to the revival of Afghan arts and the creation of a thriving art and design community.
"Gracefully blending the classical with the contemporary," all TM's products are hand-crafted in TM's Kabul studios by master artisans using materials indigenous to Afghanistan.
TM began in March 2006, at the request of His Royal Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales,
and President Karzai, President of Afghanistan, "to regenerate Afghanistan’s traditional crafts and historic areas, and in so doing create jobs, skills and a renewed sense of national identity."
TM tapped Rory Stewart, author of The Places In Between (and now a Member of Parliament) as Executive Director with a 3-pronged mandate: regenerating Murad Khane, Kabul's ancient art center; establishing artisan collectives to renew traditional Afghan arts and architecture, and spur sustainable development; and to establish schools. TM has moved mountains in pursuit of these ends. Now you can help.
