The Angel Ornament of Eucalyptus is produced by Camari, a fair trade organization founded in 1981. The name 'Camari' comes from the Quechua word meaning 'gift', and true to its name, the organization has been a gift to many artisans in Ecuador. Camari is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and has been instrumental in addressing the challenges faced by small-scale farmers and artisans in rural communities.
Camari provides artisans with access to financial credit, training, and technical assistance, empowering them to improve their craft and livelihoods. However, they recognize that access to international and fair trade markets is crucial for the success of these artisans. Without it, they often have to sell their products to intermediaries at prices that do not meet their basic needs.
Since its inception, Camari has expanded its reach, establishing numerous shops in major cities across Ecuador. This growth has provided alternative employment opportunities for over 6,500 artisan and farmer families in 18 of Ecuador's 22 provinces. By purchasing the Angel Ornament of Eucalyptus, you are supporting this vital work and helping to uplift communities in Ecuador.
The Angel Ornament is not just for the top of the tree; it can be used in various ways to enhance your holiday decor. Hang it on your Christmas tree, use it as a gift topper, or display it on a festive wreath. Its unique design and craftsmanship make it a conversation starter and a cherished keepsake for years to come.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Angel Ornament of Eucalyptus serves as a reminder of the importance of fair trade and ethical consumerism. By choosing handmade products, you are making a conscious decision to support artisans and their communities, ensuring that your holiday celebrations are not only beautiful but also meaningful.
