Ana Collection
About Ana Collection
Ana Collection is a Lebanese social enterprise that works with Syrian refugee women to portray the hopeful voices, colourful dreams and stories of war-torn children and their families through embroidery. Ana Collection collects letters and drawings from refugee children and uses these as inspiration for the illustrations that adorn their collection of dolls and home decor. Through these items they spread the unheard, simple stories and aspirations of people who are forced to flee their homes.
Refugee Artisan Group
Ana Collection collaborates with Syrian refugees living in Lebanon, most of whom live in Shatila camp in southern Beirut. Currently, over 83% of the artisans are women, and they specialise in embroidery and sewing.
