Sindyanna is one of the organisations that The Friends of St Andrew’s Jerusalem & Tiberias are proud to have supported. Over five years a substantial donation has contributed to the success they have achieved today. They have recently scooped two international awards in the highly prestigious and competitive international Ovibeja olive oil competition in Portugal.

Sindyanna of Galilee, a non-profit organisation led by a team of Arab and Jewish women, produces olive oil and other premium food products including honey, almonds and carob syrup while promoting Fair Trade, creating economic opportunities and assisting local growers and producers.
Hadas Lahav, CEO of Sindyanna of Galilee, said; "It enables us to aid sustainable cultivation and agriculture, invest all future proceeds of the grove in community projects that promote fair employment for Arab women and oversee the entire value chain, from field to extra virgin olive oil bottle."
