Just in time for the holidays, we are proud to launch our inaugural pop-up event at the Toronto WeWork offices! We will feature refreshments and samples from four incredible vendors: 

  • Nesreen Abosultan: A Palestinian mother of three who arrived in Canada as a refugee in 2019 and founded Wud Chocolates, crafting premium handmade confections. 
  • Sedra Alshamaly: A compassionate 16-year-old from Syria who co-founded Elegant Art with her sister at just 11 years old, using art to support displaced children. 
  • Noora Shrab: Originally from Gaza, and the co-founder of Sitti Soap, a brand dedicated to creating economic opportunities for women in refugee camps. 
  • Asmaa Othman: A Syrian entrepreneur who launched SOTAGE in 2023, drawing inspiration from her love of antiquities and with the unwavering support of her husband, Essam. 

Gift sets and unique items will be available for purchase, providing the perfect opportunity to support refugee entrepreneurs and celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of Canada’s diverse communities. 

Come be part of this inspiring event as we champion economic inclusion and highlight the contributions of refugees to Canada’s economy. 

We can’t wait to see you there! And if you cannot make it, please feel free to check out our online platform, now offering FREE shipping for the holiday season!
