MADE51 is a project of the UNHCR (UN High Commissioner for Refugees), a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people. By pairing refugee artisans with experienced social enterprises in their host country, MADE51 stimulates local economies while fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between refugee artisans and their hosts.
Ola Adeeb, a 21-year-old Syrian refugee living in Jordan, learned how to make the holiday collection’s “Proud Camel” ornament from Mei Hayashi, the founder of Tribalogy, a social enterprise based in Jordan. Mei had seen llama key chains during her travels in Peru and thought similar products – with camels, instead of llamas, to represent the Jordanian desert – would sell well and be easy to ship.
Tribalogy employs a team of around 30 women, including locals and refugees, who make the camels and other items. The social enterprise joined the MADE51 network last year and adapted the camel for the holiday collection.
This detailed crochet snowflake is emblematic of the winter peaks and mountain passages that define the landscape of Afghanistan. For Afghans, the snowflake is a reminder of home.
Each ornament is individually packaged and ready for gift-giving in a MADE51 box, complete with an artisan story card.
