Artes Del Paraiso
Honduran Women's Cooperative

In recent years, international charities have helped build new communities such as Nuevo Paraiso ("New Paradise") in Honduras, giving displaced Hondurans better access to housing, education and health care.

It is the vision that micro-businesses such as Artes del Paraiso will empower Honduran women and their families to break the poverty cycle and direct the course of their own lives.

Your purchase of beautiful Artes del Paraiso handmade paper  will provide the gift of hope for Honduran women, as they work toward financial self-sufficiency, sustainable community and a better future.
