Giving comes from caring hearts. Hearts like Clarissa’s, who told us, “I was moved to tears hearing all of the amazing stories about the women and children’s lives being changed through Quechua Benefit.”
Traditions in Peru revolve around alpacas. Women pass along their traditions of spinning alpaca yarn and creating beautiful garments and household goods with it. From their hands to yours–you can create your own new tradition with the work of their hand and make it possible to continue their traditions.
The women of Peru possess immense talent yet have little prospect of lifting themselves and their children from the heartbreaking poverty of everyday life. These women are keepers of the ancient art forms – spinning, knitting, and weaving.
