Chalatenango, a mountainous area in the northeastern corner of El Salvador, suffered great losses during El Salvador’s internal armed conflict. El Renacer Chalateco, Spanish for “A New Beginning in Chalatenango” started after the signing of the peace accords in 1991, to provide people affected by the war with a new beginning. El Renacer works with artisans in many small towns throughout Chalatenango, helping to market their products and provide them with training and new opportunities.

This Nativity set was acquired through a Fair Trade organization. Fair trade pays impoverished artisans a fair price for their work and puts people first, not profits!
