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

Did you know the tongue of a blue whale can weigh as much as an elephant, and an entire football team could stand on it? You don't have to worry about getting crushed under this cuddly guy, though! He's hand-knit from alpaca, sheep and acrylic blend yarn by Peruvian artisans, created to bring a smile to anyone that's young... in age or at heart. Please note: Due to local Peruvian yarn availability, this product is restocked in a slightly different color. The current image reflects the color change.
