Mikono Artisan Market

By leveraging e-commerce and a fulfillment service, Mikono Artisan Market ensures quick and efficient delivery of goods to consumers while reinvesting all profits into training new generations of refugee artisans1. The enterprise aims to create an ecosystem for refugee-made handcrafts, promoting talent and social entrepreneurship.
