This is the first in a 5-part series with Raw Coffee Founder and UAE coffee industry leader (originally from New Zealand), Kim Thompson. Kim is a co-founder of the project "Artisans of Palestine" and is here to discuss the project as a way of showing how we can support small business owners still operating in Palestine during the current conflict.

In this first episode of the series, Kim explains how this project was born years ago and how it has progressed to strengthen the supply chain of artisans in Palestine over the years.
