MADE51
Handcrafted by Refugees
“There’s a sisterhood when we sit together. It’s a form of therapy.”
– Aimé, Congolese refugee artisan in Kenya
Crafted by refugees, each piece is a symbol of hope that tells a story about the cultural heritage of its maker. MADE51, a brand of UNHCR, believes having the opportunity to earn a living through handcraft is one of the most effective ways people can regain economic independence and a sense of self-worth after being displaced from their homes. Each purchase is an act of solidarity with refugees and an appreciation for the power of the human spirit.
