Our Foundation: Mazen Hands & Hearts

Our Fight
Local cultures are disappearing across the globe, increasingly replaced by a single, globalised culture. This shift, combined with the mass production of goods in factories, has left local artisans struggling, often without the resources needed to preserve their craft and heritage. While this is a worldwide issue, the situation is especially critical in developing countries, where local artisans are on the brink of extinction, facing unique challenges in their fight to sustain traditional practices.

Mazen Atelier holds this cause close to its heart. With every item sold, 10% of the proceeds are directed to Mazen Hands & Hearts, our non-profit organisation dedicated to funding impactful initiatives that tackle these challenges and empower artisans worldwide.

Our Mission
Preserving traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
Offering talented and passionate souls, from underprivileged backgrounds, the chance to rewrite their lives and live from their passion.
Empowering artisans facing challenges by providing them with essential tools and resources to promote and deliver their creations worldwide.
Building free craft classrooms where artisans can learn, hone their skills, and preserve their crafts.
Providing free workshop facilities to access materials, tools, and spaces for artisans to practice and perfect their creations.

Next Steps

Mazen Hands & Hearts will launch its first initiatives in Morocco, supporting local traditional talents. Our vision is to expand these efforts across Africa and globally, creating a widespread impact.
