Bringing Home Closer: Authentic Local Goods for the Global Diaspora
Germin is an NGO that connects the diaspora with home by offering authentic local products and artisan goods. Our online store allows those abroad to enjoy traditional items while supporting local artisans and sustainable growth back home.
Our Store
Shqip Shop aims to bring together artisanal crafts and home goods created from local producers of Albania and Kosova.
Every purchase you make expresses your love for your people, as the money you spend will play a major role in helping small producers earn an income and develop their skills. This support is especially critical given the impact of COVID-19 and the loss of tourism to the region. Meanwhile, Diaspora now has the opportunity to buy/order handcrafted products from the homeland which they can not find in their resident countries.
Additionally, any profits earned from the shop will help Germin fund efforts to grow our impact.

As the shop grows, so will our sourcing. We have plans to find additional artisan producers in Montenegro and North Macedonia. You can reach us for any inquiry via [email protected].
