Upon arriving in Ecuador, Amanda quickly realized that the best way for communities to sustainably bring themselves out of poverty was through viable employment opportunities and holistic education programs.

The Andean Collection

It offers a way for their artisan partners to earn a living from the revival of their ancestral jewelry making technique. Even the string and beads used in the jewelry are grown in local gardens, and then handmade by the same gardeners who sow the seeds.
