Cards made by young women living in Alto Cayma, a settlement on the outskirts of the city of Arequipa, Peru.
The people in this settlement have moved down from remote mountain villages to try to make a better life for themselves and their families. They arrive with few skills with which to make a living in the city, and the women help support their families by cleaning houses, taking in washing, or performing other manual labor for very low wages.

With support from Rotary International, the women are being taught to do handicrafts as a means of increasing their earning potential. These cards, which are the result of that enterprise, have enabled someone to help themself significantly improve the quality of life of their family.
