Naya Nayon Artisan Story
Ecuador

A Tagua TreeNaya Nayon, an Ecuador-based NGO, counters poverty and deforestation by creating new jobs that depend on conservation and responsible forest management. To accomplish this goal, the company works with 23 local artisans to create figurines, jewelry and ornaments from tagua nuts. These nuts grow year-round in Ecuador and can be harvested without detriment to the rainforest. Naya Nayon gives its artisans all the training, tools and materials they need to work from home, and then manages work distribution from the organizations main office to make sure orders are fairly distributed.

Our Tagua Buttons are a great, and fun way of designing an item. We sell our buttons individually so when your working on a precise project you can order just what you need or if you want extra, then you can order larger quantities. Tagua buttons are one of a kind, each one is different from the other. They come from a rainforest nut known as tagua, "Vegetable Ivory". It has a likeness to animal ivory, but causing no harm to the rainforest. We carry many colors and styles.
