     ur history:

 

Mujeres Ayudando a Mujeres was launched on December 11, 2010 at a Holiday Arts and Crafts Sale in La Paz, BCS. The women’s A Taste of the Baja products were so successful that all 60 jars were sold by noon with orders for 36 more.

 

To date Mujeres Ayudando a Mujeres has invested more than $95,000 pesos in The Shelter for Women and Children. Renovations have included refurbishing crumbling ceilings and walls, installing a new kitchen and new office with a new desk and office chairs, painting the shelter inside and out, rewiring the dormitory and installing new cables, boxes, light fixtures, wall mounted fans — and adding colour coordinated bedding. The women and male friends of The Shelter provided 80% of the labour and finished laying the tile floor and refurbishing the crumbling ceiling and walls in the dormitory before the Open House. Funds come from the sale of our products.
