Develop, support and promote projects that significantly contribute to the consolidation of a social network in favor of the adolescent single mothers affected by violence and abandonment through management and networking actions based on joint efforts between social, public and private sectors. Sanyork Fair Trade employs 3 to 5 women from Grupo Vida on a full time basis contributing to their income and social development in Peruvian society.

Empower underprivileged adolescent single mothers through technical education in our Training Center and reinsert them in the workforce in a sustainable way. At the same time, we provide them psychological support for their emotional development, self-esteem fortification and mother/child bonding, contributing to break the poverty link from one generation to the next.

We are actually working a Pilot Plan developed in a textile factory through an alliance as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility Program. Sanyork Fair Trade gives us the space in their workshop and give us technical support to train our single young mothers. The mothers are trained in manual labor, applications, QC, stain removal, ironing, and other issues of the “finishing process, under the textile export international standards. The training period is 14 weeks, after which they are evaluated and placed for employment through a network of affiliated businesses. Guidance on how to form their own micro-enterprises is also given.

To complement the success of the program, we have an agreement with the MIMDES and their Wawa Wasi Program, through which we provide special care to the mother’s children, who are fostered and fed while their mothers are training. This Wawa Wasi provides the children the love, attention and care they require, as well as early education, health treatment, prevention and vaccination from the Health Center.

Peru faces now a time when the conditions are in place for development. The macro economic indicators show that an economic growth has taken place in the country thanks to the expansion of the world trade.

Unfortunately, the fruits of that growth have not yet reached the majority of the Peruvian citizens, the extremely poor sectors, those who are excluded from progress, the communities in the highlands area of Peru, who are still supporting the hard cycle of inequity, exclusion and paradoxical poverty.

During the last few years the implementation of social programs has continued. The experience shows that those strategies increase in the long term poverty and abandonment, and the beneficiaries' passive role hinders a sustainable development.

Sanyork Fair Trade has implemented  an ambitious and ethically effective program:  through productive and social development issues, respecting their traditional habits and providing them with educational and technical tools for their development,  individuals in remote villages can produce traditional crafts such as weavings or wood carvings and through cash advances these farmers can supplement their income in off season.
Sanyork Fair Trade invites you to be part of this effort according to your own possibilities: with economic support, helping to disseminate the program aims. The road is open in SEMBRANDO.
