==Career==
After her husband's death in 1999<ref>[https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/news_71227.htm Women of Afghanistan]</ref>, Fatima Akbari turned to carpentry out of necessity as a means to support her children. She worked in a basement in [[Iran]], where her family had fled after the [[Taliban]] took control of Afghanistan. In 2003, she returned to her homeland and started furniture production by establishing the Golistan Sedayat company in Kabul at a carpentry school<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110824020637/http://sylviarjscott.com/women-entrepreneurs/fatima-akbari-afghan-mother-role-model-social-entrepreneur-and-business-owner/ Afghan Mothers]</ref>. She attempted to create a workforce base to generate income for women whose husbands were killed or disabled during the occupation of Afghanistan<ref>[http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/10000women/article.cfm?articleid=6230 10,000 Women]</ref>. In 2009, she enrolled in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women sponsorship program at the American University of Afghanistan. The goal of this program was to train women from developing countries in business and management. In areas under Taliban control, through negotiation with local leaders and reminding them that "It is good for the Taliban to participate in national affairs and see that no problem arises from women leaving the house," she was able to expand her actions and hold literacy classes for women.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/24/opinion/24kristof.html The New York Times]</ref>

In 2004, Fatima Akbari founded the non-governmental organization Afghan Women's Affairs Council to train women in handicrafts and also teach human rights to both genders. It is estimated that since 2011, she has trained 5,610 people in Afghanistan through her NGO and business<ref>[http://bushcenter.com/images/downloads/TheInstitute/IntegratedInitiatives/WomensInitiatives/Speakers-and-Panelists.pdf George Bush]</ref>.

==10,000 Women Entrepreneur Award==
On 12 April 2011, she was honored to receive the 10,000 Women Entrepreneur Award at the Global Leadership Awards ceremony. When presenting the award, Vital Voices (Vital Voices Organization) praised her as follows:

"For her work to empower other Afghan women—through educating and employing them in her carpentry company—and through literacy and skills training provided through her non-governmental organization in areas under Taliban control for this purpose."

==International Activities==
On 30 and 31 March 2011, Akbari was a participating member of a two-day conference held in Dallas by former President of the [[United States]] George W. Bush and President of Afghanistan [[Hamid Karzai]]. This conference was named Building the Future of Afghanistan: Promoting Women's Freedom and Developing Their Economic Opportunities<ref>[http://bushcenter.com/images/downloads/TheInstitute/IntegratedInitiatives/WomensInitiatives/Speakers-and-Panelists.pdf George Bush]</ref>.
