HONORING ARTISANS AND ARTISTRY

This year as a part of our inaugural Houston Family Dinner , we are excited to honor the women and artisans behind our social enterprise, Fábrica.

THE ARTISANS

Through our social enterprise, the Quispicanchi Project helps to employ 50+ local women who report receiving close to 50% of their annual income as a result of our partnership alone.

With every purchase you are providing employment, empowerment, and hope to a local artisan and mother.

TRADITION & TECHNIQUE

One of our founding principles is to honor local heritage, tradition, and culture. That is at the heart of our social enterprise. Each product is a work or art, lovingly hand crafted, often using a combination of centuries old methods and modern techniques.

Whether worn or displayed, each Fábrica product is a celebration and exchange of culture and indigenous heritage.

LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS

Textile production in the high Andes is a way of life passed from mother to daughter and father to son. Families across the region raise livestock year round in to make everything from clothes to household items.

Every Fábrica product is made from locally produced and sourced materials. From the wool of alpacas of Sullumayo and thread spun in Urcos, each item is a reflection of the communities we serve.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

We partner with Sempa, a local Jesuit affiliated organization to provide skills development and a variety of training for our artisans. Training includes not only new techniques in weaving and product design, but also financial literacy, business and entrepreneurship.

Your support of our social enterprise provides local women with the tools necessary for economic independence!

  • "Our hope is that with our work we can turn quispicanchi into a model of rural development in Peru."

    Malu Mamani, Peru In-Country Director

  • "I am very happy because I know that together we are saving lives. We are feeding and giving hope.

    Ana Melba Pinares Huanco, the Sempa Association

  • The Impact of the Quispicanchi Project is quite large. The Project has helped us to improve students' living conditions most especially through the food program.

    Profe Luz Ramirez, In Country Program Manager

  • This organization is not about a thing. It is about a People and a Place. Our work will always be about accompanying the people of Quispicanchi.

    Dr. Michael Riemer, Project Founder
