Description
Bethlehem Arab Women’s Union: Most of our beautiful runners and mats are made by 100 women working at home, bringing the work to be washed and finished at BAWU. Lack of tourism has resulted in a severe drop in sales and marketing is severely limited as travel permits to Jerusalem are rarely given. BAWU maintains a Folklore Museum. “When you give work to people you give them life and courage and produce peace.”The Separation Wall built around the city cuts off 70% of Bethlehem’s land.
