Manjal Ma'qoud: Impacting Women's Lives in Palestine and Preserving Cultural Heritage

Manjel Ma'qoud is our newest project in Palestine and it's not just another business—it’s a powerful force that's changing lives and preserving a rich cultural legacy. It's a story of women, heritage, and resilience that speaks to the soul.

Weaving the Threads of Culture

Tatreez, the intricate embroidery art of Palestine, is much more than beautiful stitches on fabric. It’s a living, breathing expression of the Palestinian people’s history, identity, and resilience. Each piece of tatreez carries with it the stories of generations, a testimony to the creativity and strength of Palestinian women. But with the challenges of modern life, especially under military occupation, this precious art form is at risk of fading away.

Manjel Ma'qoud: A Beacon of Hope

This is where Manjel Ma'qoud steps in. With a clear mission to empower Palestinian women and keep the art of tatreez alive, the project offers training and employment opportunities, particularly to women in rural areas. For these women, many of whom face severe economic and social challenges, Manjel Ma'qoud is not just a job—it’s a lifeline.

Being able to support your family, send your children to school, and contribute to your community, all while keeping your cultural heritage alive. That’s what Manjel Ma'qoud offers these women. It’s about more than just money—it’s about dignity, pride, and ensuring that the stories woven into every piece of tatreez continue to be told.

More Than Just Economic Empowerment

The impact of Manjel Ma'qoud goes far beyond financial stability. By bringing women together, this project fosters a deep sense of community and shared purpose. In a world where these women could easily feel isolated, the bonds they form through their work are incredibly powerful. Together, they’re not just preserving tatreez—they’re preserving their connection to each other and to their heritage.

Looking to the Future

This project is proof that preserving cultural heritage and empowering communities can go hand in hand. By providing women with the tools they need to succeed, Manjel Ma'qoud is helping to create a  more hopeful future for the next generation, preserving traditional craft making.

Projects like Manjel Ma'qoud are a reminder of just how important it is to protect our heritage. These women aren’t just creating beautiful art—they’re weaving together the threads of history, resilience, and hope, ensuring that their stories will continue to be told for generations to come.
