Conceived by HM King Charles and Hamid Karzai and Rory Stewart, it is located in Murad Khane, in the old part of Kabul, the area was a run-down slum where heroin addiction was rife and employment opportunities were almost non-existent. The foundation has made a huge change in the quality of life for the residents there since it was set up. They have been able to hire over 400 local men a day, train them with restoration and construction skills and employ them to build a cultural, educational and economic hub. The community now has a primary school, a health clinic, a literacy centre with a library and an institute of Afghan arts and architecture that teaches English and Business skills and in its new design centre, they have trained over 6000 artisans.
