The Wiñay artisan workshop in Cochabamba, Bolivia is a grassroots organization whose goal is to provide income for community women. While the women work on-site creating the ceramic nativities above and the jacaranda seed pod nativity below, their children are fed and supervised in the center's day care unit. Artisans make about 10% more than the average government job. One World Projects supports Wiñay by providing a market for their products, and also donated a roof to improve working conditions for artisans and for the safety of their children.


Jacaranda tree pod and ceramic nativity set from Bolivia.

Jacaranda Pod Nativity   $14.00

This cute nativity manger scene is crafted from a jacaranda tree pod and very small ceramic figures. The tree pods are, of course, slightly different sizes, but these are about 2.25" high, 2" wide and 3.5" long.


Guatemalan Nativities


UPAVIM Daycare facility

These cotton nativities are handmade by women in an impoverished area of Guatemala. However UPAVIM (Unidas Para Vivir Mejor or United for a Better Life) has grown from a small community health project to a successful cooperatively run business that provides social services in a growing community which receives very little attention from the local or national governments.

For example, the Children's Center Program was founded in 1994 to provide an infant daycare service and pre-school education (shown left). They've achieved this through donations, hard work, investments in people and expanding the markets for the women's crafts.

You may also like to see their very festive animal, Santa and angel cloth Christmas ornaments!

Peruvian Ceramic Nativities - Lima

We've begun working with more artisans in Peru through Manos Amigas (Friendly Hands). This is a fair trade organization that helps Peruvian artisans develop and export handmade goods to the United States and Europe. In addition to promoting economic development through fair trade, the group provides business training and helps artisans identify new markets for their crafts. Twenty per cent of Manos Amigas' profits are dedicated to social programs, including childhood and youth education, while 80% of the profits go directly to the artisan. We hope you'll enjoy these ceramic and straw nativities.
