You spoke up and we listened!
We're restocking our popular Samer Bags, so stay tuned for more one-of-a-kind designs. Made from premium, upcycled materials in partnership with Tekaya Design. Handmade with love by artisans in Shatila Refugee Camp.
"Women need to have equal decision-making power... Nothing tests this notion better than the experience of a refugee family that literally needs to find ways to survive on a daily basis."

Investing in #women farmers has so many benefits, all around: addressing #poverty in one of the areas where it is needed most, enhancing women's participation, AND improving food security! #MondayMotivation
The majority of the world’s poorest people are farmers. To help them fight poverty, we need to invest not only in better seeds but also in the potential of the women who plant them.

Important reminder that long after peace has been declared on paper, dangerous remnants can remain to plague the new generations trying to re-build their country - and that we need to keep fighting for controls on arms proliferation!
To boost that great #FridayFeeling:

The amazing @NujeenMustafa traveled 1000s of miles, from Syria to Germany, in a wheelchair
This powerful advocate for disability & refugee rights is about to address the UN Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Syria
"I never expected that I would be here one day"
“Some powerful members of the security council are [...] questioning women’s right to self-determination. Through such actions, the achievements that have already been made could be shattered and the ‘women, peace and security’ agenda overall weakened.” bit.ly/2VY7HbW
Great message from @Villages! It is crucial that we all keep going the extra mile to look past the convenience of fast fashion and dare to ask: #WhoMadeMyClothes ?
It's time for a revolution. A #FashionRevolution! We are proud to know who made your jewelry. This is Suman and she says, "I am happy that I can support my children to go to school." #WhoMadeMyClothes #LiveLifeFair #FairTrade
For anyone needing a little #ThursdayMotivation: take a look at the amazing work down by @WFP in the wake of #CycloneIdai to give (women) farmers the tools and seeds to support themselves and regain their independence following natural disaster!
Maria Rita says food has never been a problem for her family before #CycloneIdai. They used to grow tomatoes, cucumber, pumpkin, beans, maize and never ran out.
A joint seed & food distribution with @FAO is helping smallholder farmers in #Mozambique return to the field. 🌱🌾👇
So important to keep supporting the growing movement for #fashion that is created with care and respect for both our environment and the people who make our clothes!
