THE MAKERS

Women of Otavalo, Ecuador, who are often the main carers in their families, are also becoming the main breadwinners creating artisanal jewelry with indigenous materials like sustainably harvested tagua. With long-term job opportunities and a stable income, these women are not only changing their own lives and the lives of their families, they are also building the foundations of an economically stronger community which can offer a better future for the next generation.
