Odeh Qura’an is the Founder of Bits and Knits that is targeting the marginalized of the Palestinian society including cooperatives, women, youth and elderly through facilitating their access to entrepreneurship opportunities.

Bits and Knits is a for-profit organization that is making use of the E-commerce system trend and developing it in a way that serves cooperative needs. As it strengthens the cooperative and individual local producers in many aspects such as production quality, packaging and distribution which enables them to access the market with high quality products that will be able to compete in local and international markets.

In addition, Bits and Knits markets these products online for international communities, which eventually help these cooperatives and individuals, sell more products and sustain fair incomes. So far, Bits and Knits has benefited 75 families and is aspiring on the short term to benefit at least 200more families.

On the long term, Odeh aspires to build a store, which views as a platform. This platform will enable the cooperative members to create their own stores, post their own products, reach international markets and communicate with their customers and eventually increase Bit and Knits’ beneficiary base.
