Muhra Handmade Jewelry - made by displaced Syrian women

Muhra , an Arabic word meaning ‘female foal’, is a growing social enterprise operating as part of the NGO Small Projects Istanbul

 

From its humble basement location in the city, the appropriately named Olive Tree Community Centre provides childcare, food, classes and training, workshops, social support and a workspace for the Muhra enterprise all under one roof!

 

Every product is given a meaningful name which speaks to the heart and inspiration behind the design and the wider story of hope and empowerment that is being told. The creation of each new product seems to be like the opening sentence of a new chapter being penned in Muhra’s story.
