Camari Artisan Story

The Nativity with Two Acacia Leaves is brought to you by Camari, a fair trade organization founded in 1981. The name 'Camari' comes from the Quechua word meaning 'gift', and true to its name, it has been a gift to many artisans in Ecuador. Camari is a proud member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and has played a crucial role in addressing the challenges faced by small-scale farmers and artisans in rural communities.

Camari provides artisans with access to financial credit, training, and technical assistance, empowering them to improve their craft and business skills. However, they understand that access to international markets is equally important. Without it, artisans often have to sell their products to intermediaries at prices that do not meet their basic needs.

Since its inception, Camari has expanded its reach, establishing numerous shops in major cities across Ecuador. This growth has provided alternative employment opportunities to over 6,500 artisan and farmer families in 18 of Ecuador's 22 provinces. By supporting Camari, you are not only acquiring a beautiful nativity set but also helping to uplift communities and promote sustainable practices.
