Madero de JesusChalatenango, El SalvadorMadero de Jesus was founded in 1988 by Aminta de Mancia, to showcase the works of skilled local artisans in the mountains of Chalatenango, El Salvador. With inflated food and gas prices, artisans were looking for ways to earn a sustainable living wage to provide for their families. Providing design assistance, heathcare, and education for artisans' children, the organization ensures not only the continuation of traditional Palmeņo artistic styles, but the prosperity of its artisans. |
