Nisolo Peru Flood Relief
Donativo protegido
If you haven’t heard, Peru is currently experiencing the worst flooding, and subsequent landslides, it has seen in over 30 years. More than 800 villages, towns, and cities have declared a state of emergency including our beloved Trujillo — home to our factory, its producers, and their families. More than 75 Peruvians have been killed and over 100,000 left homeless. Many more are left without clean drinking water and food as supplies dwindle, grocery store prices rise, and bridges all over the region collapse. To top it off, it’s being reported that flooding may last well into April.
We asked a few of our producers to share their current situations. Here’s some of what they had to tell us.
“So much water has gotten into my home and the ground is totally covered in mud.” Amparo, 34 years old.
“The walls of my home have taken in a lot of water. I’m afraid my house could fall down at any moment.” Emili, 19 years old
“I had to sell my ducks to get enough money for food. I’m thinking about selling my pig but the price is very low. I have 5 children and 3 are very young.” - Marleny, 39 years old
Nisolo translates into English as neither they — nor we — are alone. If you’re able to join our efforts, we’re hoping to raise $5,000 to provide food, clean water, building supplies such as aluminum roofing and beams, and clothing. 100% of your donation will directly go to the aid of Nisolo producers, their families, and communities.
We realize not everyone is able to offer financial support — your continued support through spreading awareness is so valuable. Sharing with your friends and family can go a long way.
We ask for your patience and understanding during this time as we’re not sure what this will mean for our production schedule. We will send regular updates as we learn more.
It’s a privilege and honor to work with the talented, hard working people of Trujillo.
Your support means the world.
