Dear Donor, please receive a warm greeting. Thank you for your donation ! It really makes a difference for the female artisans that our project supports.
This initiative undoubtedly contributes to the reduction of poverty levels, since it promotes the socioeconomic development of the artisans through the creation of capacities and the promotion of entrepreneurship.
They have become microentrepreneurs that in turn contribute to the sustainable development of their communities.
The project continues to empower women in situations of social vulnerability; through training, boosting their self-esteem and potential for self-realization, in an entrepreneurship program to improve their living conditions.
This social initiative shows as one of its main achievements the design and elaboration of high-quality differentiated products that meet environmental protection criteria, through the revaluation of traditional ways of handling raw materials and presentation of sustainable management options (recycling of plastic bags)
As a foundation, we continue supporting artisans by making it possible to sell their handicrafts at the stores of the Fundación Grupo Puntacana, Puntacana Resort and Club and some stores at the Punta Cana International Airport, as part of the marketing strategies.
In the last months the project has provided the advisory and logistical support for their participation in bazaars, fairs and various events. They participated by setting up an exhibition stand in:
Both events took place at Puntacana Resort Club
The group of artisans have enriched their offer of handicrafts with new designs. They have started the year experiencing a good level of sales, which has been the result of the aforementioned actions and the recovery of tourism. As usual, the incomes are distributed among them and a part is allocated for administrative expenses of the association of artisans.

We look forward to a continuing partnership with you.

Thank you again
Best wishes,
