We are an official MADE51 Social Enterprise Partner

MADE51 is a global brand of artisanal products crafted by refugees brought to life by UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency. Sector7 and bebemoss are official MADE51 partners. Our MADE51 branded products are designed within the brand guidelines and produced by refugee artisans from Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan living in Turkey. We have many products part of this project like an ibis ornament in the Holliday collection and toys. The toys are inspired by the beautiful poetry for children by Suleiman al Issa featuring stories of nature and animals. All those products not only showcase heritage and skills but also help create sustainable livelihoods and build a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people.

  • "Refugees have skills and talents that only need a chance to grow and flourish. Within each piece lies a story of history and culture, and the chance for a person who has fled war and persecution to offer something of beauty and style to the world."

    - Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees

  • “I’ve learnt handcrafts, worked with it and earned money. And I’ve supported my daughter to finish her education. If any of my children or my husband need help, I can support them.”

    -Samira, Syrian Refugee

  • “When we first came to Turkey, we were alone. We didn’t have relatives or our families….When we work here as a community of women, we support each other. We share ideas. We help each other. We make friendships. We became a family, sisters.”

    -Rania, Syrian Refugee

Crafted by Refugees

We collaborate with various artisan groups of refugees residing in Turkey, including Syrians, Afghanis, and Iranians. We offer them vocational training, supply all the necessary materials, and guide them in design to produce exceptional works that not only showcase their talents and cultural heritage but also provide them with meaningful sources of income.
