Dolls made by Syrian women living in a UN-run refugee camp, in Beirut, Lebanon, are being used to tell the stories and dreams of mothers and children left behind.
They are part of a project named ‘The Ana Collection’, created by Marianne and Melina Moussali, daughters to a Lebanese father and a Syrian mother.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says the initiative helps refugees “open up to other communities” in the Shatila camp, which was originally set-up for Palestinian refugees.
Michelle Alves de Lima reports.
