Audley supports Costa Rica community project
Emma Skelton October 9th, 2008
Audley have just started a scheme in Costa Rica to support an indigenous community called “Boruca” located in the county of Buenos Aires in the Puntarenas Province. Around 50 women form the community make hand-woven items such as bags which we buy from them. The money goes directly back into the community and pays for the production and transportation of the items from their village to Buenos Aires city and onwards by bus. The women share the remainder of the money between them.
Upon arrival in Costa Rica Audley clients will receive one of the handmade items from the community along with a bit of background information about them.
