ethically produced cotton in Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan

I'm working on an income generation project with women in the West Bank making pyjamas (www.hopesew.org)- all the profit from sales goes to the women. We are trying to source ethically produced cotton from the region, either from Israel, Egypt, Syria or Jordan. Does anyone have an ideas?!! Thank you!
