Syrian business owner in Cork 'donating 15% of proceeds to the homeless to give something back'

"Since we arrived the people here have been nothing but friendly and supportive to us"

Syrian natives Reham Ghafarji and her husband Wasim and their daughter Heaven.

A Syrian native who has started her own small business to avoid 'depending on anyone' has pledged 15% of proceeds to the homeless to 'say thanks' to Ireland for giving her a new home.

Reham Ghafarji, who launched Soap & More a few weeks ago, loves the country so much that she has also embraced all the traditions and, despite being a Muslim, has decorated the house with a Christmas tree and is looking forward to Santa Claus visiting her children.
