Lex Brand

LEX Brand, partnered with the Crisis Employment Project (CEP) aims to sell quality products created by Syrian refugees and those in crisis situations.

LEX Brand and the Crisis Employment Project would like to empower refugees by having them create products in exchange for a fair percentage of all profit. All LEX Brand products are 100% ethically sourced and handmade by Syrian refugees and those in crisis situations. We are in the concept stage to create a range of farmers market bags that are created from recycled plastic yarn, jute yarn and pin

eapple leather. We are building our prototypes now, and look forward to your feedback! We will also be designing jewelry and yoga bags, and are open to suggestions. CEP is unique to other fair trade organizations in that it is currently specifically geared for the 2015-present refugee crisis for those who are still displaced. According to the UNHCR, there are over 4.8 million displaced Syrian refugees in neighboring countries (Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt). In 2015, over 1 million refugees made their way to the EU in small rafts across the sea, with almost 4,000 dying in the Mediterranean Sea in transit.

In 2016, the European Commission announced $83 million in aid for the refugee crisis in Greece alone. In November of 2016, after spending 4 weeks in a Syrian refugee camp in Ritsona, Greece, I had a hard time understanding where that money could possibly have gone. The conditions were atrocious; the tents were wet, the children were constantly covered in mud from head to toe, their clothes were threadbare, their shoes nowhere to be found. I realized that lofty donations were not enough, as they continued to “trickle down” from incompetent or corrupt governments who had no idea how to handle that amount of money.

CEP wants to change the power dynamic by using international buying power to directly fund individual refugees. The program will start small but will continue to expand to provide more money to more families that are still waiting to be placed. Many of the refugees have been waiting for over a year, crowding large families into tents or campervans in the process. They receive old clothes and microwaved military food that has little to no nutritional value. By working for themselves and receiving their own money, refugees have the power to buy their own food, clothes, cooking appliances, cleaning supplies and technology that better fit the needs of their families.
