What is The Pulsera Project?
The Pulsera Project operates as a fair trade nonprofit, bridging Central American artisans with a network of over 4,000 U.S. schools through the sale of handwoven bracelets, known as pulseras. The organization is dedicated to empowering artisans by ensuring fair wages, providing healthcare, and fostering educational opportunities. Concurrently, it promotes cultural education within U.S. schools, creating a meaningful exchange that enriches both students and artisans. Proceeds from pulsera sales are strategically reinvested into Central American communities, aiming to create sustainable jobs and support a range of social impact programs. This dual focus on economic empowerment and cultural enrichment positions The Pulsera Project as a unique entity in the social enterprise landscape.
