✨ Our Commitment
At Qafela, sustainability is not just a goal — it’s a principle woven into everything we do.
We believe that honoring cultural heritage means respecting the people and the planet behind it. That’s why we empower artisans to create beautiful, functional products using ethical methods, recycled materials, and circular design thinking.
🔁 Circular Craft Labs
Reimagining Waste as Art
We work with artisans and youth to transform discarded materials — fabric scraps, clay remnants, wood cuttings — into entirely new designs.
These labs combine hands-on craft with environmental awareness.
- 1.5 tons of waste repurposed since 2023
- 40+ artisans trained in circular design
- Ongoing labs in Cairo, Fayoum, and Aswan.
⚖️ Ethical Production
Fair, Transparent, Human-Centered
We ensure that every product sold through Qafela meets ethical standards of safety, dignity, and fairness.
