Awamaki

Awamaki is dedicated to fostering community development by collaborating with associations of Peruvian women and investing in their skills. Through these strategic partnerships, Awamaki connects local artisans to global markets, creating sustainable economic opportunities. Located at Calle del Horno 618, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba Cusco, PE and 4600 92nd Ave SE, Mercer Island, WA, US, Awamaki operates with a commitment to empowering women and supporting rural and indigenous families in Ollantaytambo and its surrounding communities.

Awamaki achieves its mission through comprehensive programs focused on Women’s Cooperatives and Sustainable Tourism. The Women's Cooperatives Program organizes women's cooperatives in spinning, weaving, and knitting, providing essential skill-building workshops. This initiative also facilitates market access through the Awamaki Fair Trade Store and an international wholesale collection, ensuring women earn a reliable income. The Sustainable Tourism Program promotes culturally sensitive tourism, offering visitors unique insights into Quechua life and providing local families with additional income and a deep sense of cultural pride.

Awamaki strives to provide partner women artisans with opportunities to build skills and access knowledge that will significantly increase their incomes and improve their quality of life. Awamaki's efforts reflect a deep commitment to social enterprise and economic development. We invite the manager of Awamaki to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further enhance its visibility and impact.
