Huetar People
The people of the Huetar tribe number about 2,600. They live in the remote and lush mountains of north-central Costa Rica.
Esmeralda is among the few people in her community that continue to craft the Huetar pottery, woven textiles, and musical instruments. In addition, she teaches classes on these arts to her people as well as anyone with interest.
Donate to improve our e-commerce store so that anyone can buy awesome Latin American, and especially indigenous, crafts and foods from anywhere in North America.
The Maleku tribe has been making teas from local plants for generations and we want to help them develop commercial teas so they won't have to rely exclusively on tourism.
Mexico healthcare system does not provide dental treatment so even checkups are too expensive for many. We will fund free education, dental products, and then follow-up treatment from local dentists.
Through tutoring, mentors, and workshops at the planned activity center, we will help hundreds of nearby children whose parents earn less than a dollar an hour.
