From a small workshop to a movement
Our Story

From a small workshop to a movement

ADDAR was born inside Dar Abu Abdullah, a community center in Amman that has served vulnerable families for over two decades. What started as a small sewing workshop for women seeking economic independence has grown into a social enterprise that connects hundreds of producers across Jordan with markets that value their craft.

Our name — ADDAR, meaning "the home" in Arabic — reflects our belief that economic empowerment begins with dignity, community, and a place to call your own. Every product we sell carries the story of its maker: a woman who trained, practiced, perfected her craft, and now earns a sustainable income doing work she is proud of.

Today, ADDAR works across product categories — organic dates, raw honey, gift collections, and custom corporate merchandise — serving clients from individual shoppers to NGOs, corporations, and government entities across Jordan and the GCC.
