We have shared with you before about the wonderful women who create the bags and wallets we sell.  They do masterful work, and are changing the lives of their families and communities through their commitment to hard work.  The women are paid fair wages, and with every bag and wallet that is bought, we are helping to build homes for widows in Guatemala.

Plywood People is always seeking to find people creating unique products in the midst of difficult circumstances that we can partner with to make a difference in each other’s lives.  We are learning to be more conscientious consumers.  We are learning to do research to find out where the things we buy are made, and how the workers are treated.  When we can look at the women who are creating the products we sell, and see that they are healthy, well treated, and able to provide for their families, we know that what we’re doing is truly making a difference.

We’d love to share about our most recent trip to Guatemala, introduce you to the women creating the bags and wallets, and show you what your purchases have done for one woman and her family.  This is a story that we hope to tell again and again.  Thanks for your help!
