Camari
Camari was set up in 1981 to complement the work of FEPP, a development agency that assists small farmers throughout Ecuador, and markets agricultural and handicraft products on behalf of several hundred peasant groups and artisans. Camari works to ensure that they receive a stable, fair income, enabling small farmers to carry on working the land, as well as preserving indigenous culture through the promotion of traditional crafts. more info...
