About Senbleh

Preview

SENBLEH is an initiative of Seed In A Box and Amel International Association, established with the kind support of UNDP. The fair trade online marketing platform works on a cooperative basis and is in the process of establishing an autonomous collective for its operations.

From small farmers, producers, and service providers to your homes and businesses, we offer an alternative to current supply chains that marginalize small producers and share a significant part of their revenue.

We also work on developing short, localized value chains, such as the project to produce fresh pasta for the Saida/Ain el-Helwe markets by women from marginalized areas.

SENBLEH is open to producers of all nationalities in the targeted area, including women, youth, refugees, and small farmers, producers, and service providers. The initiative also acts as a commercial platform for refugees who are denied their inalienable economic and social rights in the country.

Direct delivery is provided by local groups and entities specialized in the service. We also offer wholesale delivery options for restaurants, hotels, and caterers.

In addition to sales, the website will showcase initiatives, projects, and producers to expose their stories, link them with market mentors, uplift their brand, and mobilize financial support to expand the initiative.
