Andean Collection provides financial assistance in the form of zero-interest loans to help artisans enhance their income from Andean Collection through workshop improvements, or to start a new family business in a different industry.

Before working with Andean Collection, Jose Luis’s textile workshop was relegated to one small room in his home. He used the zero-interest loan to greatly expand his workshop and achieve a better work-life balance.
