Arte en Mate

Peru

Cochas Chico, a small farming community nestled in the Andean mountains of Huancayo Peru, is home to a rich tradition of gourd carving. It's also home to Daniel Medina Salome, whose family has established a small fair-trade business to help his community. Arte en Mate provides work for many men and women who give priority to the families with the greatest needs. In their workshop the families are united and everyone works together to help those who are most in need.
