Sindyanna of Galilee

Sindyanna of Galilee, a nonprofit organization established in 1996, is located in the Palestinian village of Kfer Kana in northern Israel. The organization, run jointly by Palestinian and Jewish Israeli women, strives to protect Palestinian farming capacity and land against confiscation by the State of Israel. Sindyanna focuses on the promotion of products from olive, the sole agriculture sector inside Israel that remains distinctly Palestinian. Combining business with community work, Sindyanna functions as a packaging and distribution outlet for Palestinian farmers from both inside Israel and the West Bank to market and export their olive oil products. A member of IFAT (International Fair Trade Association) and Israel Bio-Organic Agriculture Association, Sindyanna and its products have been recognized internationally for both quality and upholding the Fair Trade practices.
