The Pulsera Project
The Pulsera Project has made a return to SHS!
The Pulsera Project buys hand-woven pulseras from Central American artists and then partners with student groups to sell them through U.S. schools. We provide sustainable fair trade employment and dramatically expand economic opportunities for nearly 200 artists in Nicaragua and Guatemala. We also educate U.S. students about Latin American culture and the importance of Fair Trade practices.
With the money raised from pulsera sales we fund many programs that empower people through secondary education, university scholarships, housing programs, youth shelter support, workers' rights advocacy, funding for environmental initiatives, and more. We partner with groups & non-profit organizations who share our belief that economic aid is just one part of a mutual exchange among people who share knowledge, ideas, and life experiences for the benefit of all.
