The Wayuu people of northern Colombia are renowned for their weaving and pottery production, creations that are nationally and internationally sought after. Despite the well known admiration of Wayuu art, however, the Wayuu unfortunately have difficulty affording even the most basic necessities due to their isolated line of work. Needless to say, their quality of life is not the best. It is therefore our mission to help Wayuu artisans get their beautiful pieces sold and help them afford a better lifestyle. By aiding this community, we can truly make an impact on the Wayuu people’s lives beyond simply admiring their works of art.
