Empowering Ancestral Craftsmanship in Chile

Ana and Arnoldo, a dedicated couple from Monte Patria (Tulahuen) in the Coquimbo Region- Chile, have been preserving and teaching the ancestral craft of natural stationery production for over 13 years. Their work, which involves using conservation-safe plants, holds significant ecological value and helps maintain local cultural traditions.

Despite their commitment, they have faced significant financial challenges in recent years, compounded by the need to care for their daughter with special needs. To overcome these obstacles and achieve their dream of expanding their craft to educate both children and adults, they require essential equipment and financial support.

Our goal is to raise $1.980 USD to provide Ana and Arnoldo with the necessary tools and resources, including an industrial juicer, stainless steel equipment, a computer, and other key items. This support will enable them to continue their valuable work, enhance local identity, and positively impact their community by fostering traditional craftsmanship.

Your contribution will not only support Ana and Arnoldo but will also help preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Monte Patria.
