Talent Becomes Action

CDA's Artisan Crafts Project, Artisans for Action

Caminos de Acción works with a small, women-led co-op named Las Tinecas, located in San Martin, El Salvador. The co-op creates paper earrings for Caminos de Acción through a technique known as quilling, which involves tightly rolling strips of paper into unique designs. Part of the proceeds from the earring sales go directly to co-op members who are paid a fair wage for each pair of earrings they make, while the rest of the proceeds help facilitate Caminos de Acción's local community development projects.
