Silvia

"I like working for UPAVIM because we have a free schedule. If we want to, we come to work today. If we do not, we can rest in the house, or take care of issues we have to deal with. Some of us can work at night, and others do activities while continuing to work. We can continue to generate income and do other things in the day, but always get the job done."

-Silvia, Seamstress

Angela

"When we started, many women didn't know how to read or write, they were abused, and with many malnourished kids. That was the challenge - to not only work for ourselves, but to make UPAVIM a tool, a place that generates change. And now we see it. I want to tell the people thank you very much for buying UPAVIM’s products. You’re not only buying a decoration or a product for personal use, you’re buying a product that is changing lives, to have a dignified life and a better life." - Angela, Administrator of Handicrafts
