  Description

  Here on Samos crafts(wo)men from all over the world come together to share their expertise and their ideas, to learn with and from each other and to produce the things they need the most, themselves.
  
  In Samos we produce humanitarian aid ourselves:
  by hand. locally. sustainably. independently. honestly.
  
  And this is where we come in.
  
  In our workshops we work, learn and laugh together, pass on skills and knowledge, and develop innovative solutions. The products we manufacture directly improve the current living situation and alleviate humanitarian suffering. This is how we break the vicious circle of dependency.
