Within the arts, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has created a global brand of artisanal home decor and accessories crafted by refugees. Made51 offers refugees the opportunity to create, earn a living and be self-reliant and allows them to rebuild their lives while sharing their traditions, crafts and cultural heritage with the world.
