Tapestries of Hope was founded in 2002 by Maggie Doyne, an American woman who was living in Afghanistan. Doyne was inspired to start the organization after she met a group of Afghan women who were struggling to support their families. Doyne realized that these women had the skills and the desire to work, but they lacked the opportunity.

Tapestries of Hope provides women with the training and resources they need to start their own businesses. The organization offers classes in tapestry weaving, embroidery, and other traditional crafts. Women also receive training in business management and marketing.
