Background  

Turquoise Mountain is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation established in 2006 by His Majesty King Charles III to revive traditional crafts, historic areas and to provide jobs, skills and opportunity through cultural heritage projects. By blending heritage buildings, education and enterprise, Turquoise Mountain has created sustainable heritage places and livelihoods that support the revival of artisan industries. Turquoise Mountain now works in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, and the Levant. Since 2006, Turquoise Mountain has restored over 150 historic buildings, created employment for thousands of artisans and builders, built over 50 small businesses, and supported and generated over $17 million in sales of traditional crafts to domestic and international markets.  

Context  

Turquoise Mountain Levant was established in Jordan in 2018 and leverages the cultural heritage of Jordan and the wider region to train and educate in traditional crafts, deliver sustainable heritage led regeneration for communities, and connect hundreds of artisans to new and sustainable markets.
