A three-day charity market titled “Made with Love” opened in Aleppo on Saturday, bringing together 230 artisans and entrepreneurs showcasing handicrafts, traditional foods, and innovative small-scale projects.
The event, organized by the “White Heart Foundation for Development” in cooperation with the Aleppo Chamber of Commerce, at Sheraton Aleppo Hotel aims to support local producers and revive traditional industries through direct engagement with consumers.
Deputy Chairman of Aleppo Chamber of Commerce, Hussein Issa, talking to SANA reporter, described the market as both a humanitarian and economic initiative that helps strengthen the position of Syrian-made products while encouraging the exchange of ideas among participants.
Houri Ousep Kouchkerian, head of the “White Heart Foundation”, said the initiative offers an important platform for small and micro-business owners to market their products and expand their visibility in the local market.
Participants said that the event provides a valuable opportunity to showcase cultural diversity and creativity. Artisan Ismail Khaseem, who demonstrated handloom weaving at his booth, said such events help preserve Aleppo’s heritage and connect it with younger generations through new creative approaches.
Local businesses are joined by exhibitors and representatives from Turkey, China, and Armenia, highlighting growing regional interest in Aleppo’s recovering economic scene.
