Handmade Palestine is a social enterprise in Occupied Palestine that connects hundreds of Palestinian artisans—most of them women and refugees—to the world through fair trade crafts. Each piece sustains livelihoods, preserves tradition, and carries a story of resilience. It is a lifeline for artisans, a bridge between heritage and global audiences, and a collective act of resilience. At its heart, it preserves Palestinian craft while creating fair, sustainable livelihoods for communities facing extraordinary challenges. The crafts shared by Handmade Palestine embody heritage in its truest sense. Every embroidered stitch and olive wood carving carries generations of knowledge. For women in rural villages, craft-making is more than income—it’s a way to keep identity alive.
