Sulafa Embroidery Project is located in Gaza City and has been working with hundreds of women from eight refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, providing them with opportunities for income generation through the production of embroidered pieces. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) initiated the project in 1950. Today, it is facing many challenges stemming from the inhumane siege on Gaza that not only imprisons the population but also imposes restrictions on the entry of raw materials into the Strip, heavily restricting the marketing of their products to local and international markets.
Sulafa’s embroidered shawls and scarves have been in high demand according to Sunbula, who stock their products constantly. Despite the siege, you can still support the Sulafa project by visiting Sunbula. Their products include purses, computer covers, cushion covers, and ornaments.
