WE BELIEVE IN PALESTINIANS
Founded in 2015, PS48 aims to support the palestinian people by working with various individuals, businesses or charities to develop and/or market their products globally. Our goal is to improve the economic and social well-being of Palestinians through the sale of Genuine, High Quality Palestinian products.
EMPOWERING PEOPLE
We seek to empower Palestinians by giving them the ability to market and sell their products and hence enabling them to improve their lives themselves.
We do our best to work with the marginalised or less well-off segments of our society and seek-out small businesses individuals or charities as a top priority. We believe that working with them will have the most impact on our society.
A specific interest in traditional cultural products is also a focus of ours, as we want to contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage and history. We believe that people who have the skills to make our traditional products shouldn't have to find other ways to make ends meet, and should be rewarded and appreciated for these skills. After all they ensure the continuity of our heritage.
Economic Situation & the Role of CraftS in Palestine
PS48 works with organizations that strive for economic self-help through craft production. Since the Intifada (popular uprising) broke out in the fall of 2000, the economic role of these craft producers, most of whom are women, has become crucial. Many women have become a main breadwinner of the family, as their husbands lost jobs inside Israel or Palestinian cities due to the hermetic closure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Over the last several years, it has become an enormous challenge for these craft producers to carry out their day-to-day work. Due to the curfew and closure of communities, village women are often unable to bring finished pieces of embroidery to their cooperative to receive wages. The craft organizations are having difficulties obtaining fabric and threads, prevented by hundreds of army checkpoints and road blocks that are placed across the West Bank. Traveling in and out of Gaza Strip has become virtually impossible, as the Erez Crossing, the Strip's only gateway to outside world, has been closed to most people.
Today, with the rapid construction of the Separation Wall, Palestinian communities are threatened with further physical isolation and economic stagnation. The role of the craft groups, as well as Sunbula, will become even more vital to meet the needs of hundreds families to afford food, clothing, education, and medical care.

Sustainable Trade
PS48 is an a for-profit company as we believe this is more sustainable.
Part of our core beliefs is that sustainable trade must be fair. That's why we try to ensure that the people we work with get a price for what they produce that can sustain them, allow them to develop their work further and employ more people.
We also believe that YOU should get value for money and work either directly or indirectly to ensure that products made offer good value, are of good quality at a fair price to customers.
-
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBILE
We believe we have moral obligation to give back to our community.
This is why for every product purchased through us part of the revenue will be donated to a local charity or individuals in need.
our aim is to involve you in this process and share with you the differences we make together in people's lives. You can get more info on this in our giving back section.
