AkuRuka

AkuRuka offers 100% hand-made crafts made by Mapuche-Pehuenche women, who through entrepreneurship hope to open doors towards a more self-sufficient future.

AkuRuka was born to support the entrepreneurship project of Mapuche-Pehuenche women of the Lonquimay region, in the Chilean Araucanía. The process of these weaves begins with the shearing of the sheep, then the spinning and dying of the wool with natural herbs. The design is then finally woven onto the loom, which ends up being a unique item in the world. By working with their own resources, these

women are able to develop a new way of income, which helps them become self- sufficient and economically independent. By supporting AkuRuka you are supporting the craftsmanship of these women, who through their skilled hands are opening doors towards a better future.

[ESPAÑOL]
AkuRuka nace para apoyar el emprendimiento de mujeres Mapuche-Pehuenches en Lonquimay, zona de La Araucanía Chilena. Al trabajar con recursos propios como la lana y telares construidos por ellas mismas, las mujeres logran desarrollar una forma de ingreso, lo que las ayuda a ser autosuficientes y económicamente independientes. Apoyar AkuRuka es apoyar el trabajo artesanal de estas mujeres, que con sus manos buscan abrirse camino hacia un futuro mejor.
