1/2"h x 8"w. Origin - Ecuador
Camari, which means 'gift" in the Quechua language, was started in
1981 to respond to the problems facing small farmers and artisans of
Ecuador in selling their products. Because of a lack of markets, many
artisans and farmers were forced to sell to intermediaries at a low
price and could not make a living.
Camari
offers artisans and farmers direct marketing outlets and fair payment.
Today, through the sales of their products, they are providing
alternative employment to more than 6,500 farmer and artisan families.
Through training, credit, technical assistance and fair marketing of
products, they are working to transform economic relationships to bring
about hope, justice, and well being. Colorful and creative painted bread
dough ornaments from Ecuador are a favorite among our customers, as are
the tagua nut jewelry and decorations, a renewable resource from the
Ecuadorian cloud forest.
