Comparte artisans

In Spanish, comparte means “to share”. Established in 1988 by the Social Union of Christian Businesspeople (USEC), this non-profit trading organization aims to improve the standard of living of Chile’s disadvantaged crafts people. Based in Santiago, Comparte markets products for over 400 artisans groups.

Comparte's mission is to improve the lives of economically struggling workshops and artisan groups throughout Chile by promoting and exporting the handicrafts they design and create, as well as working with the artists to improve their business practices and continually develop new products that stay true to their traditions. Comparte is improving the living conditions of their producers by paying fair prices and stimulating justice in the workplace of the developing world
