Former Combatants in Tolima
We want the seed of peace to contribute to the effort to emerge together from the pandemic we face. To that end, Manifesta, Tejiendo Paz and RICO have joined forces to support former FARC combatants from the Antonio Nariño Territorial Training and Reintegration Space (Icononzo, Tolima). With your support, we are making anti-bacterial mouthpieces by former FARC combatants that will be donated to vulnerable families and communities in Colombia.
With the support of Manifesta and Tejiendo Paz, former combatants of the ETCR Antonio Nariño have reconverted their textile manufacturing capacities to produce reusable mouthpieces. The production cost – which includes a fair remuneration for the textile workers – is 1,000 COP / 0.25 USD / 0.22 EUR per unit. We have enough raw material for 7.500 mouthpieces and reserves for 7.500 more, we want to collect 15 mio. COP / 3760 USD / 3400 EUR.
The money will be used 100% to pay for the production and logistics costs of the mouthpieces. Once the money is withdrawn, it will be paid directly to the workers of the cooperative, suppliers and logisticians in the community. RICO will coordinate the management of the resources and the other members of the project will support in obtaining the supports, as well as in the payments that have to be made.
