A socially responsible company

Corporate social responsibility isn’t a very common term in Peru. Nevertheless, many entrepreneurs love giving back to their community. This is also one of our main motivations. Surco Tapestry Art loves teaching young people the art of tapestry weaving. That’s why Hector Surco set up the ‘Young Tapestry Artist’ learning program, offering them paid traineeships and jobs to provide for their families. Youth in the countryside of Peru often lack the opportunity to go to university as it is very expensive. In tapestry art they can find a wonderful, international career and help preserve the culture of their ancestors.
