This is the 5th 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 final episode of the series, Kim tells us the story of olive oil soap makers - Nabulus Olive Oil Soap Project (not currently trading) and her efforts to help get this project off the ground to help preserve the heritage of this craft and provide trade to the community.
