Introducing Jamaa'in Women's Society
Our New Partner and Palestinian Basketry


Sunbula is happy to welcome Jamaa'in Women's Society as our newest partner producer.  Located in the village of Jamaa'in near Nablus, this grassroots initiative has been serving140 women through social and educational programs since 1996.  It also strives to provide a wage-earning opportunity through the basketry, a tradition that has been passed down through generations in Palestinian farming communities.  The women weave household items using local wheat straws, olive and fruit tree branches abundant in their surroundings.

The beautifully woven baskets and trays from Jamaa'in are now available at Sunbula Craft Shop in Jerusalem, and are coming soon to Sunbula Online Craft Market!
