Handmade bags from Sinai

A few years ago, the Makhad Trust funded the construction of a Bedouin Centre for women and children in St. Katherine. The building was set up with a craft centre selling Selema’s bags, a training room providing education for the woman and an office. The success of Selema’s business has inspired other Bedouin entrepreneurs to follow her footsteps and establish similar businesses where Bedouin women make beaded bags at home. We expect to support these other businesses in the future and offer a greater selection of handmade crafts. These beautiful handmade Bedouin bags can be bought from The Makhad Trust and our sister organisation, The Isbourne Foundation, with all proceeds used to sponsor restoration of the ancient Bedouin gardens in the St Katherine’s area. Please get in touch if you would like to know more or would like to host a bag party.
