One of Azm and Saade’s main running projects is the artisanal
project. It reflects the importance that the association places
on the handcraft sector as a fundamental component of the
cultural heritage of the city; combined with education, the
association believes it can also be a source of socio-economic
empowerment.
The project has been running since 2004 and it aims
at preserving the local handcraft traditions while
simultaneously integrating vulnerable women, school
dropouts and persons with special needs in income
generating opportunities.
