About Us
Our Story: The Heart of Wattle and Olive
Wattle and Olive was born from a deep sense of shared humanity and a refusal to be silent in the face of injustice. Witnessing the atrocities in Gaza, we felt compelled to do more than simply donate as individuals. This store is our answer—a way for us as Australians to collectively stand with the Palestinian people and help them survive.
The name "Wattle and Olive" is a symbol of this powerful connection. The Wattle represents the Australian people's beautiful nature of giving and standing for what is right. The Olive, ancient and resilient, signifies the strength of the Palestinian people in the face of the worst atrocities. Together, they represent a bond of solidarity and hope.
Our Mission: A Promise of Liberation
Our mission is simple and unwavering: to stand with humanity no matter the adversity. We are committed to helping liberate the Palestinian people and supporting the establishment of a peaceful State of Palestine.
That's why our commitment is clear and absolute: 100% of all profits are donated directly to charities supporting the Palestinian cause. We have carefully chosen partners like Gaza Online and Palestine Australia Relief and Action (PARA) for their commitment to low or no administration fees, ensuring that your contribution makes the maximum possible impact. All our business and investment costs are covered by us, so every dollar of profit goes straight to those who need it most.
Our Products: Mugs with a Message
At this stage, we are focused on creating beautiful, high-quality mugs. Each mug is more than just a vessel for your drink; it's a way to raise awareness and a tangible symbol of your support. By purchasing from us, you're not just buying a mug—you're contributing to a cause and joining a community dedicated to a better, more peaceful future.
