Crafts 4 Palestine
More Than a Brand — A Hand of Humanity
Established in 2025, Crafts 4 Palestine is more than a marketplace — it is a movement. Born out of urgency and love, it was created to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza and to speak out against the ongoing genocide and occupation.
Each craft we offer tells a story.
Each candle carries the light of resilience.
Each dish remembers the hunger faced with dignity.
Each ornament honors those who stand unbroken, rooted in faith and history.
This is not just art — this is testimony.
Through every detail, I have held the hands of Gaza’s people — weaving their pain, hope, and heritage into every idea, and it is they who are my strength and inspiration. Crafts 4 Palestine is a distant eye and a reaching hand. It exists to keep alive the culture, traditions, and voices of an indigenous people whose land is being taken from them piece by piece by colonialists.
We are proud to collaborate directly with families in Gaza, not simply to provide aid, but to preserve dignity, empower livelihood, and offer something more than survival: the right to thrive.

Creativity as Resistance
It all began with a simple idea — fueled by a deep passion for justice and a profound compassion for the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.
I started a Telegram group dedicated to sharing Palestinian films and documentaries. As the group grew, many Gazans joined and began sharing links to their fundraising campaigns. To support them better, I created a separate group called Help Gaza Appeal, where Gazans could post their donation links — but only after being verified via video call to confirm they were truly in Gaza.
With the help of my admins and supportive members, we worked together to promote these verified campaigns on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Bluesky. For a time, donations flowed in. People were grateful to know the links were genuine — a big concern given the rise in online scams.
However, many people still hesitated to donate, saying they wished they could get something in return. As disheartening as that was to hear, it sparked an idea that became the inspiration for this website.
What This Website Is About
This is not a business in the traditional sense — it's a non-profit platform and, more than anything, a fund-raiser. Every purchase you make here directly helps feed and support Palestinians in Gaza.
You’re not just buying a product — you’re making a real difference. It’s like a donation, but with a meaningful return.
Most of the items available here are handmade by me. Some were sourced from wholesalers, and others I already had in preparation for launching a business of my own. But that business can wait — because Palestine is more important right now.
This is the best way I know how to use my creativity — as a form of resistance.
And your purchases are a form of resistance too. By supporting this effort, you're helping to counter the inhumane blockade that aims to starve and silence the native Palestinian people of Gaza.
Together, through art, compassion, and action, we can stand on the right side of history!
Allahumma n’surhum ala man zalam hum
O Allah, grant us victory over those who oppress us

Together, our hands can build what violence tries to destroy — a future rooted in memory, resistance, and solidarity.
We believe art transcends circumstance, serving as a powerful tool for resilience and resistance. Through their pencils, brushes, and words, the children and artisans of Gaza and the West Bank transform challenge into creation. This creative output counters narratives of dehumanisation by presenting real lives, real talent, and unbreakable spirit. Every purchase supports this essential form of resistance, validating their humanity and creative future.
Beyond its beauty, art and creative pieces represent a non-violent resistance, turning raw emotion into a statement of enduring human dignity.
