Alivicha Peru

Peru

Alivicha provides artisan jobs to women in Peru's rural areas in addition to campaigning for women’s sexual, reproductive, political, social, and economic rights.

The money earned from artisan work is sometimes the only source of income for the women at Alivicha, many of whom live without electricity.

Their creative knit work also earns them great respect within their communities, and around the world. The organization gives Peruvian women an opportunity to leave the domestic sphere and “build a relationship with the world,” so that they can realize their full potential and exercise their rights as women.

Product details

Often referred to as a sea cow, Manatees are kind and gentle creatures of the sea. Our new Alpaca Stuffed Manatee Toy reflects their humble nature, with smiling eyes and a soft alpaca knit. These adorable creatures were thought to have inspired mermaid legends, and our toy will inspire endless hours of fun. This cuddly sea creature is lovingly knit by women artisans in Peru and will provide your child with hours of playtime fun.
