  BRIDGE OF HOPE, PERU

Bridge of Hope is confronting the root causes of poverty by providing an alternative way of doing business, in order that the artisans from the most impoverished areas of the country have opportunity for development and direct access to markets. They promote Fair Trade in order to offer the producers and artisans of Peru acceptable social and labor conditions and a just wage for their work. WFTO member.

About the artisans:

The members of Jupa are neighbours and live in the slums of Pamplona Alta, the highest part of the district of San Juan de Miraflores, which is a very arid area south of Lima. The members of Jupa are young mothers and hope to improve their livelihoods through their Fair Trade work.
