Artisans of Rebirth

Across cultures and generations, craft has always been a way to connect, to create meaning, beauty, and livelihood. Anka brings together artisan producers from Türkiye and Syria, many of whom have been displaced or affected by the earthquake and ongoing conflict. By sharing their handmade goods with supportive communities in the UK, we foster collaboration, preserve heritage, and help build steady futures for those rebuilding their lives.

How you can help

Anka works by connecting local UK businesses like cafés, shops, and galleries with artisan producers in Türkiye and Syria. When you offer just a little shelf space, you help these makers share their craft with the world, earn a sustainable income, and rebuild their lives with dignity

We don’t replace their brands, we support them. Each product keeps its original label and identity. Anka simply helps carry it from one community to another.
