Biulu Artisan Boutique is an Indigenous owned 'for-profit business with a purpose'. The objective is to source, unite and provide sustainable economic opportunities to Indigenous artisans throughout the Americas. Three main target areas are 1) Single mothers 2) Politically displaced (i.e. by land sale, industrial invasion/forced to leave by force and/or environmental degradation caused by industry and 3) Vulnerable women who would otherwise fall into illicit forms of employment such as prostitution or otherwise into domestic servitude out of economic desperation.
Where YOUR money goes: The company pays the artisans well above local market price (thrive NOT survive) and Ivan and Lydia pay directly to the people. There are no intermediaries.
The way we see it: This is about saving an important part of human history while providing ongoing support to individuals and communities that need help. For over 10 years Biulu Artisan Boutique is a place where our collective voices can be heard and dreams can be achieved by helping to realize a more equitable distribution of resources around the world.
