Peru

Cochas Chico and Coches Grande, twin farming villages nestled in the Andean mountains of Huancayo Peru, are home to a rich tradition of gourd carving. It's also home to Esperanza Palomino and Raquel Sabastian Rojas, two women who have established small fair-trade businesses to help create new jobs for the artisans in their village. Besides creating new jobs for artisans aged ten to sixty, both women manage work distribution from the main office to give priority to the families with the greatest need.

Purchase of these gourds helps to provide economic and social support to Peruvian artisans and their families. These gourds depicting the flora and fauna of a dense tropical rainforest may just transport you to the Peruvian Amazon. A sure buy for the nature lover in you!! Go Green!!
