Our Story
A Story of Authenticity — Handcrafted in Palestine, Empowering Women
Women-led. Heritage-driven. Authentically handcrafted.
Welcome To RIHANA
In a land known for its ancient olive trees, wild thyme, and unbroken resilience, a quiet dream began to grow, carried by the hands of Palestinian women determined to shape a future worthy of their strength. That dream became Rihana, the flagship brand of WAMCO – the Palestinian Women’s Cooperative for Marketing, Agricultural Production & Handcrafts – a company built entirely by women who transformed tradition into opportunity and heritage into global value.
Rihana was born not in boardrooms, but in the modest kitchens and small workshops of Palestine. Places where thyme is still dried by hand, freekeh is roasted over open fire, maftoul is rolled grain by grain, and embroidery threads carry the stories of mothers and grandmothers. Each product reflects the earth, flavors, and spirit of Palestine, shaped with care by women who have preserved these traditions for generations.

A Brand Rooted
in Purpose
From the beginning, Rihana’s purpose was clear: to build a brand that reflects the soul of Palestine while creating dignified and sustainable livelihoods for women who nurture the land and protect its heritage. Through WAMCO, women in rural villages gained stable income, professional training, safe working conditions, and the opportunity to transform their craftsmanship into a global identity.
Rihana is more than a producer of gourmet foods and handcrafted goods. It is a cultural ambassador sharing authentic Palestinian za’atar, freekeh, maftoul, olive oil soaps, artisan embroidery, and handmade crafts with homes around the world. Every product meets strict quality standards while honoring sustainable practices and community empowerment.
More Than a Brand
Each jar of za’atar, each bar of soap, each embroidered piece carries a human fingerprint. It reflects the warmth of a Palestinian home, the fragrance of olive groves, and the dignity of women turning challenges into opportunity.
With expansion into the Gulf, Europe, and the United States, partnerships with specialty retailers, and a growing digital presence, Rihana is shaping a new narrative for Palestinian products: premium, sustainable, and proudly handcrafted.
Our Commitment
Preserving and celebrating Palestinian women for future generations through storytelling, craftsmanship, and community impact.
From Palestine to every table, every home, and every heart, Rihana is our story. A story of heritage, courage, and hope woven into every product we create.
