When Fareshta Rahmani arrived in the Netherlands, her future was uncertain. A trained pharmacist from Afghanistan, she had the knowledge, skills, and determination, but not yet the opportunity to continue her professional path.

Through Delitelabs’ UP Collective program, she found a new way forward.

She tested business ideas, from saffron tea to saffron-infused cheese.

By graduation, Fareshta had transformed her challenges into an entrepreneurial journey. She even launched a small Instagram venture showcasing her handicrafts while she waits for the chance to bring her saffron products officially to Dutch markets: dreamhandmade

Her advice to newcomers? “Start somewhere, learn everywhere.”

We’re proud of Fareshta and grateful for her mentor John and partners who support talents like her.

🍦Introducing Sweet Mango Memories, a new ice cream flavor with a mission!

Co-created by 13 refugee entrepreneurs, including our entrepreneurship program Alumni Olga Shevchenko, this flavor isn’t just delicious, it tells a story.

When Olga moved from Ukraine to the Netherlands, she brought years of logistics experience and a creative spark. While caring for her newborn, she designed the packaging for Sweet Mango Memories, featuring figures from different cultures finding connection in a new home country.

“Sweet memories from the past help you feel strong and inspired in your new home country,” she says.

This flavor was born through a collaboration between Delitelabs, , and combining entrepreneurship, creativity, and cultural storytelling. Part of the proceeds will support refugee-led businesses through training and microfinance.

If you’re a company: let this inspire you to co-create with newcomers. Their ideas go beyond integration, they spark innovation.
