ABOUT sanae
Sanae is a social entrepreneurship platform dedicated to uplifting artisans from remote and often underrepresented regions, primarily in Africa and the Middle East.
The platform offers a curated selection of handmade products, each piece embodying the unique cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the local artisans who create them. Sanae operates with a mission deeply rooted in ethical commerce, ensuring that all proceeds from sales are directed back to the artisans themselves, apart from a portion allocated to cover shipping costs and the platform’s operational expenses.
By connecting these skilled artisans with a global market, Sanae not only helps preserve traditional crafts but also empowers communities that might otherwise be marginalized in the global economy. The platform serves as a bridge, linking the rich, diverse cultures of Africa and the Middle East with appreciative customers worldwide.
Through this model, Sanae promotes sustainable development, fair trade, and cultural appreciation, highlighting the importance of craftsmanship and providing a vital source of income to artisans who depend on these skills for their livelihood.
