MADE51 is a global brand created by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, that brings refugee craftsmanship to the world. The brand has been established to help refugees achieve economic independence by making use of their valuable skills, traditions, and heritage as part of a sustainable value chain.
A network of 35+ social enterprises in 23 countries are part of MADE51, together working with 3700+ artisans, 85% of whom are women. Private sector companies and retailers create market access for refugee-made products and, in doing so they drive economic inclusion and help build brighter futures for refugees. MADE51 is brought to life by UNHCR, a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people.
