SUPPORTING WOMEN-OWNED SOCIAL ENTERPRISES |
SFU proudly supports local businesses like Tayybeh that provides employment opportunities for Syrian refugee women. Founded by Nihal Elwan in 2016, she wanted to do something to support the influx of refugees and to employ women who were new to Canada to ease their transition. SFU has partnered with Tayybeh since 2020 as a catering provider at various-sized events at all three campuses. |
