Hårelastikker i genanvendt materiale fra skjorter fra det lokale marked. 

Lavet i en NGO i Grækenland hvor kvinder på flugt kan få passet deres børn af frivillige, mens de sammen mødes og laver håndværk sammen, mens de tjener penge til sig selv og deres familier. 

Pascaline fra Cameroon er en af kvinderne i værkstedet. Hun siger: "Det giver hver kvinde en følelse af at høre til her og samtidigt at være forbundet med sine rødder, når man ser de forskellige produkter vi sammen laver. Jeg ser mange stolte smil hver dag”.

*Det er ikke Pascaline på billedet, da hun ikke ønsker sit ansigt delt, men en af de andre kvinder Zahra.

Pascaline, der lige nu lever i en flygtninglejr i Athen.

Hver dag kommer hun til NGO’en Glocal Roots. Her bliver hendes børn passes, mens hun kan være i værkstedet med andre ligesindede kvinder og lære af hinanden og udveklse erfaringer.

Da Pascaline var hjemme i Cameroon var en af hendes yndlingsaktiviteter at være sammen med sine veninder. Det sociale er også det hun bedst kan lide ved værkstedet i Athen.

“Alle bidrager med hver deres viden og evne. Vi deler en masse historier og håndværk fra vores hjemlande. Det giver hver kvinde en følelse af at høre til her og samtidigt at være forbundet med sine rødder, når man ser de forskellige produkter vi sammen laver” siger Pascaline og forsætter: “Jeg ser mange stolte smil hver dag”.

Den indkomst kvinderne skaber gennem de produkter, de kan sælge fra værkstedet, går direkte til dem og er deres første skridt i Europa mod finansiel uafhængighed.

Better mental health

Creating something with your hands can have a profound positive impact on mental health, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Studies show that engaging in hands-on activities can reduce stress and anxiety by up to 45%.

Many of the artisans we collaborate with have faced significant challenges in adjusting to new countries, often feeling displaced and disconnected.

Through practicing familiar crafts and connecting with new, like-minded communities, they begin to regain a sense of ownership, belonging, and community. Each product you purchase carries the story of a person’s journey, as well as their opportunity to rebuild and create anew.

Jouhania, who embroiders products in the Shatila refugee camp for The -able, shares: 'For me, embroidering is like stitching my life back together, thread by thread. It’s a traditional Palestinian craft that I am proud to bring back to life.

Greater financial freedom

According to the UN, around 70% of refugees live below the poverty line, and many do not have permission to work. Through our cooperation with local NGOs, people on the run get the opportunity to work and earn their own money through jobs they are good at. When people on the run are given the opportunity to be included in the labor market and earn their own money through dignified work, the sense of belonging to the new countries is strengthened and they are given the opportunity to take their first steps towards financial independence again.

Amina, who makes bags for The -able in Lebanon, says: “ Being financially independent from relief organizations has helped me regain my self-confidence and respect - I no longer feel like I'm outside, and I pass this strength and joy on to my children.”

Preserve endangered cultural heritage

An often overlooked consequence of people being forced to leave their homes and land is that local crafts are threatened. The traditions risk disappearing, as those who master the craft must leave materials, tools and practices behind.

At The -able, we work to preserve these traditions by always starting from the knowledge, skills and designs of the artisans and then integrating them into modern design and sustainable practices that can be continued in new countries.

Through our work, we ensure that these skills and traditions live on, while celebrating fine craftsmanship and respecting both people and the planet.

Thank you for shopping at The -able. Every purchase makes a difference to a person forced to flee or living in a conflict-affected area.
