Craftswomen and university graduates joining forces

Craftswomen and university graduates are working together to develop sustainable businesses with the help of product development support, business training and networks provided by the project. Following the first phase of the project, the Foundation plans to scale up the project to include more women and a wider range of businesses.

Working towards a better future for Nablus

Participation of women in the formal labour market is low in Palestine and income opportunities are minimal. The economic activity of the women involved in this project will have an immediate positive impact on the social well-being of their families and communities, given that on average women reinvest 90% of their income in their families. These young women are not only Nablus’s future community leaders, but also mothers of the city’s next generation. By facilitating their economic advancement, this project contributes to a healthier and more secure future for the women and children of Nablus.
