Handmade Palestine exists for one reason: to support Palestinians. It’s a question we’re often asked, and we’re proud to answer it clearly and honestly. Every aspect of our work—every decision, every product, every partnership—is designed to empower and uplift Palestinians and their communities.

When you shop with us, your purchase is more than just a transaction—it’s a direct contribution to the people of Palestine. Every item in our marketplace is designed and handcrafted by Palestinian artisans and cooperatives IN Palestine. The revenue goes directly back to them, helping to sustain their livelihoods in an environment where opportunities are increasingly scarce.

Beyond providing fair compensation and trainings, we are partners in the design process and several artisan groups were created and trained by our founder. 

Moreover, we invest in preserving and celebrating Palestinian culture! Through initiatives like Mashjar Juthour, the non profit nature reserve we were orignally created to support, we are committed to protecting the land and building a deeper connection to Palestine’s roots. From supporting women’s cooperatives to promoting environmental sustainability, every effort we make is for the improvement and advancement of Palestinian lives.

At our core, Handmade Palestine is not at all about selling products—it’s about sharing stories, preserving traditions, and creating a sustainable future for Palestinians. Your support fuels this mission, and for that, we are endlessly grateful. Together, we’re not just supporting artisans; we’re strengthening the foundation of Palestine itself.
