Guaranteed Fair Trade Organization

Preserving Heritage:  We aim to preserve the handicraft traditions of our area for the benefit of future generations of Palestinians, especially the olivewood tradition which was first developed because of the local availability of the raw material and the demand by pilgrims for religious icons.

Mission: We strive to alleviate local poverty and unemployment, decrease emigration, and sustain Palestinian handicraft workmanship traditions by effectively marketing our products, obtaining raw materials at a reasonable cost, and developing our technical and managerial capabilities.  The Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative Society has a dream of peace in the Holy Land, and we believe that Fair Trade is a tool to reach our aspirations.
