Manos del Monte upcycles textile waste and creates livelihood opportunities for rural women in the Chaco region of Argentina. They began as a meeting place for knitting and sewing workshops and evolved to offer textile waste services and contract manufacturing of fabric bags, packaging, accessories, and corporate gifts. Manos del Monte provides skills training, long-term work, and sales channels so that the women do not have to migrate to cities and can continue to care for the Gran Chaco forest. They reinvest their surplus to improve the amenities of the workshops and community centers and organize trips, events, and other programs for the women. Manos del Monte works closely with other grassroots organizations in the Gran Chaco region.
