FEM Colombia - Workshop Repairs

FEM COLOMBIA - ABOUT
Meet FEM - an organization rebuilding the lives of indigenous women in Colombia. We're repairing their workshop this holiday season.
FEM is a non-profit organization based in Cartagena, Colombia that seeks to make a daily difference in the lives of afro and indigenous communities in general and local Colombian women in particular by listening to their needs, connecting them with relevant stakeholders, and fostering a sense of community ownership over sustainable development projects.
These women weave baskets, hats, lamps, jewelry and home goods to sell both locally and internationally.
In November of 2017, while a group of us were visitng Colombia, the workshop and surrounding area was hit with unusually heavy rains. The roof collapsed and destroyed a large portion of the building. Our goal is to repair the workshop and provide functioning bathrooms & upgrade the space.
Because the exchange rate works in their favor, every little amount counts, if we all chip in $10-15, we'll be well on our way to rebuilding!
