How you purchase can make a difference
Known as the “land of lakes and volcanoes” Nicaragua is also home to the second-largest rainforest of the Americas and a popular tourist destination. However it is also among the poorest countries in the Americas and 48% of the population of Nicaragua live below the poverty line, with 79.9% of the population living on less than $2 per day
Fairtrade benefits to communities
Your purchase will help support families like Don Leopoldo Potosme and Sara in the ceramic community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua.
In this community house and workshop are often integrated as one. The home of Leopoldo and Sara is no different, and with nine family members sharing the space, they literally eat, sleep and breathe pottery. The Potosme family has four children, two of whom, with their spouses, help to produce the orders for Women of the Cloud Forest.
With the proceeds from their Fair Trade crafts they have been able to send their youngest son to medical school!
