Samar’s Pantry

A home kitchen making pickles, za’atar and pastries, supplying a fixed weekly order to three shops in Deir al-Balah.

Based in
Deir al-Balah, Palestinian Territories
A woman kneads bread dough, with jars of home preserves on the shelf behind her.

About the project

Samar cooks in her home kitchen with her daughter and two neighbours. The business runs on standing orders: three neighbourhood shops take an agreed quantity every week, so income is regular instead of depending on daily sales. The first thing that changed after joining the programme was the ledger: the cost of every jar is written down, and profit is calculated rather than guessed.

  • A shop wants the same quantity on the same day every week. Once I kept to that, I had steady customers and an income I could plan around.
