This group is made up of 5 people (3 women and 2 men) who produce quality jewelry. The artisans make a variety of different jewelry in gold, silver, and other metals. Interestingly enough,
these artisans
learned to produce jewelry in a factory, in
poor work conditions. They decided
to become independent, but their small scale
of
production made competition extremely
difficult: each one worked to
identify
customers and attend various fairs. Finally,
they decided to work together, and
at that point they learned of
the Fair Trade organization, Bridge of Hope.
As a new group, they struggled to come up with new designs because it was hard to find the money for materials. But a large order from the Presbyterian Women in 2007 gave them the financial boost they needed to invest in supplies.
Now they are constantly developing new products, have quite a robust product line and are doing quite well.
