During the week of July 17, 2011, the Guancasco team took one big stride toward fulfilling its principle to employ healthy artisans who then in turn make healthy products.

Many people in Honduras, including some of Guancasco’s artisans and their families, do not have access to proper healthcare. Guancasco wants to bridge that healthcare gap.

Not all Honduran parents can afford to buy school supplies for their children at the start of every school year, and the school systems do not have the resources to meet this need either. In our eyes, this is a tragedy.

Honduran Artisans
The women of the Cialmagul Co-Op in El Departamento de Valle, Honduras are highly skilled artisans who produce one-of-a-kind clay pottery pieces by following a method that has been passed down for many generations. The art on the custom handmade pieces these 20 artisans produce are created without any paint, but instead polish each pieces using colored rocks. We discovered the unique talents of the women of the Cialmagul Co-Op when our customers took a special interest in the pottery they made to display our Honduran plants. At that time we discovered an opportunity for our artisans and the rest is history.

Fair Trade Products

We operate our business under fair trade principles. In an effort to increase the living standards of our artisans, we pay a fair price for every product and also pay 50% of every order upfront. By doing this, our artisans are able to retain sufficient capital to create their beautiful artistic handmade products, including fair trade crafts and other fair trade gifts, without having to endure unnecessary hardships and sacrifices. The remaining 50% is paid when the final item is packaged and sent.
