The Story of Kilis Women

Our story began in 2016 when volunteer women came together with dedication. With a non-profit mindset, we set out to open doors of income especially for women in disadvantaged positions.

With the 'Cotton Handcraft Treasure' project launched under the GAP umbrella, we laid our foundations by providing direct income to 6,500 women. Today we work with professional capacity in the production area allocated by the Kilis Governorate.

Today we are transitioning from subcontract manufacturing to our own brand. Our vision is to become a pioneering institution that by 2026 is active in international markets, present in the digital world, and facilitates the economic independence of more women.

We produce to help women gain strength in society
