Mission

Sunbula is guided by the core value of empowerment of the most marginalized, focusing on poverty reduction, social justice, and supporting the development of Palestinian society. Through creativity and innovation, and emphasizing respect of the local heritage, Sunbula will support activities that provide income, preserve traditional skills and heritage, and help sustain producer groups. Through these activities, Sunbula will also raise awareness of the situation of these groups to the international audiences it seeks to connect with the community in Palestine. Sunbula will achieve this through a focus on the sustainability of the producer groups it supports, including capacity building and training, product development, and increased market access, all based on fair trade principles.
