Leadership and Training

Training: Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and Design

We are working with artisans through training, mentorship, and financial support to help them to grow their businesses. Our team covers essential topics such as digital marketing, product design, business management, entrepreneurship, and sales, and we deliver both in-person and online to ensure accessibility across the West Bank and Gaza. 

We have trained over 367 artisans to date in business skills, marketing, and branding mentorship, fashion design for craft, and product design. We aim to build connections to market into our programmes wherever possible to provide opportunities for immediate income for artisans as well as skill development. We are proud to partner with organisations such as Dar al Kalima University, Bethlehem Fair Trade Artisans, and Darzah in our programmes.
