A living and practicing Arhuaco culture with growth opportunities that do not require abandonment of the traditional lifestyle.

​

 

Nearly all Mama Mochila artisans live as homesteaders, growing their own food in remote mountains and caring for large families.

 

​

Our model emphasizes gender and generational inclusion, use of low impact materials, fine technique and artistic creativity.

​

Mama Mochila strengthens Arhuaco families, culture and tradition through the ethical sale of handmade, nature conscious Arhuaco craft.

​

With your support, Indigenous Arhuaco artisans access the global market, develop new products and preserve their craft heritage.
