Somalian refugee Asmaa and Iraqi refugee Amal sit side by side as they exhibit their handmade products in a bazaar organized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Dec. 5-7.

The “#WithRefugees Winter Bazaar” took place in Amman and was a first by UNHCR. The aim of the bazaar was to showcase the crafts and skills of refugees living in Jordan’s refugee camps and cities. The money earned will provide an additional income for refugees during the difficult months, when they need to stretch their finances further to buy coal or warm clothes.
