Lebanon remains the country hosting the largest number of refugees per capita, with the Government estimation of 1.5 M Syrian refugees + some 12,159 refugees of other nationalities.

The socio-economic downturn coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic and Beirut blast have all contributed to nine out of ten Syrian refugees living in extreme poverty.

Syrian refugees holding valid legal residency has further decreased, hampering their access to basic services, civil documentation and increasing the risk of deportation.

Our very first product was a woven welcome mat, made in a camp in Greece.

That mat inspired our whole range and now we weave the welcome mat 2.0 and make gifts and home items.

All our products are made with love by women who are trying to integrate into a new country and live in safety and security. They have created meaningful and supportive friendships and spend time learning from one another. A community!
