Inaash Association founded in 1969 by Huguette Khoury-Caland (daughter of the 1st Lebanese President) and a group of Lebanese and Palestinian women who foresaw the need to preserve the rich heritage of Palestinian embroidery while providing financial support for Palestinian refugee women in camps across Lebanon. Since its inception 50 years ago, over 2,000 women benefited from their work with Inaash, both in monetary terms and through a sense of community and cultural continuity. Successive generations have passed their embroidery skills from mother to daughter. Their work with Inaash and the ancillary services it provides have had a positive impact not just on the women but also on their families. Today, over 400 women in five camps are engaged in embroidering Inaash’s high-end products, which include Fashion apparels from abayas, shawls, jackets, Fashion accessories from clutch bags and home décor cushions, napkins, trays, coasters. Together Inaash and its embroiderers have established a reputation for exquisite artisanal collectibles creating its own designs based on its extensive archive of authentic Palestinian motifs and patterns.
