By offering a first job opportunity to Syrian refugee women, we contribute to their quest for autonomy and their integration into our society as active members of it.
Our story
Faced with the troubling social, cultural, and economic obstacles that all refugees face upon arriving in Canada, Les Filles Fattoush provides Syrian newcomers with a meaningful integration opportunity: real work that puts their culinary talents to good use, allowing them to generate income while building a social network. This employment not only represents a first step toward regained dignity, but also allows the women to communicate with each other and with their customers; thus, there is a real mutual benefit. Everyone gives and everyone receives, so everyone wins. The global refugee diaspora threatens many cultural legacies. Les Filles Fattoush addresses this problem in a very positive way. Working together creates connections, boosts self-esteem, and benefits not only the women, but also their families and the community. New opportunities are created, for example, through word of mouth, but also through meetings and discussions between Syrian women and Canadians: this allows them to showcase skills beyond their culinary talent. Among the first Fattoush Girls were sports coaches, lawyers, journalists—in short, women from diverse trades and professions. The workplace became a unique opportunity for integration into local life. There is no universal cure. Social and economic obstacles will always be present, but Fattoush Girls is a positive and innovative project that helps overcome them.
