Program areas at The Pulsera Project

The Pulsera Project's non-profit social enterprise model is unique because it enriches lives both in The u.s. and abroad by weaving Pulsera sales into an educational program. We sell pulseras to provide opportunities for central americans, but we do so while educating thousands of u.s. students about fair trade, central american culture, and a range of social impact initiatives. We encourage students to open their hearts to care about others, but we also encourage students to open their minds to The amazing diversity of ideas and perspectives in our world. This win-win model is The magic of The Pulsera Project.- see schedule o for continuation -
