Mission:
Threads of Peru has been created to educate the world about the unique beauty and cultural significance of the Andean people and their textile traditions. Through the web, community tours, and international sales, we connect indigenous Andean weavers of Peru to a global market; contributing to the survival of this art form and to the health and well-being of the people that sustain it.
We offer volunteer positions, a Threads of Peru tour, and we have an ebay store where we sell traditional textiles, which we buy from weavers that we work with. The profits from weaving sales support the communities through projects such as, weaving capacitation workshops, creative inspiration exercises, community exchange trips, adult education, lectures on basic health, family planning and nutrition, the construction of weaving houses, etc.
Through the promotion and sale of textiles, we work to provide economic opportunities to indigenous Andean weavers of Peru.
