Our Impact in Action
Since 2019, Buttonup has turned local crafts into fair, dignified work. We train women and youth — especially those excluded from the labor market — and connect what they make to customers and partners in Egypt and beyond.
7 Years of Buttonup — in Numbers
Seven years of craft, opportunity, partnerships and stories. More than just numbers, and the story continues.
