Make an impact on the lives of the artisans and the future of Palestinian craft industry
Make an impact on the lives of the artisans and the future of Palestinian craft industry
Founded in Jerusalem in 1996, Sunbula is a Palestinian fair trade organization that creates income-generation and development opportunities for low income craft producers. We partner with 25 community groups whose members include women, refugees, people with disability, members of minority groups and small-scale farmers. By assisting our partners in every step of a livelihood initiative – product design, training, and marketing via our Jerusalem stores and online shop – Sunbula strives to ensure its sustainability. A member of WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization), Sunbula is committed to upholding fair trade principle and practices.
The Palestinian crafts industry has never faced a bigger threat in its volatile history than the current pandemic. This year, we have been putting all our heart and effort into keeping the work of our artisans flowing despite lockdowns, closures, and curfews, and making sure that every labor of love arrives safely in the hands of supporters, both locally and abroad. When our incomes almost dried up this year, we raised funds through emergency grants and crowdfunding. Every contribution has helped to sustain Sunbula and our partner artisan groups.
With your support, we have survived 2020 and need your support to continue our work into 2021 and beyond. Thank you for your generosity.
