Shop By Cause: resettled refugees

Many refugees have been forced to leave their countries in order to escape war, persecution, environmental change, famine, and unimaginable atrocities.

They must rebuild their lives, oftentimes not knowing the language and culture of the country in which they have resettled. The Little Market sources from artisan groups and social enterprises that aid refugees and internally displaced peoples (IDPs).

artisan: Canaan Palestine
