Paying It Forward
Mahatma Gandhi once said; "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Paying it forward is important and you, our customers, are the ones who make that happen around here!
Paying it forward in 3 ways...
The first is the most important. Our independent artisans wouldn't be here without YOU! Through your purchases, YOU support local artisans all over this planet. YOU help them continue to move towards growth, accomplish their goals for their businesses and create a more sustainable life for themselves and their communities. All this is possible because your support allows Mariposa Skies to offer a better way for artisans to be able to tell their story, be seen and understood. Many don't have the same resources we are privy to in the United Sates, this is where your purchase serves a greater purpose. YOU give them a way to keep moving forward in life.

Your purchase helps to ensure that the environment continues to live on. Many of you may know that in Spanish 'mariposa' means butterfly. Butterflies are very important to our environment's well being and health. Through your purchase with Mariposa Skies' you help contribute to the Save Our Monarchs organization. As a thank you, you will receive a packet of milk weed seeds in each and every purchase that you will be able to plant and see grow. When you plant them these seeds will ensure the continued growth of the Monarch butterfly population. My hope is that they will bring you beautiful monarch butterflies! I am truly grateful for each of your purchases here at Mariposa Skies.

The third is through your purchase of a Balinese Friendship Bracelet. When you buy these bracelets, $2.00 goes directly to the non-profit Kurandza. Your contribution helps educate girls for an entire year in Mozambique. The more friendship bracelets you purchase, the more girls you help receive a holistic education. Right now, because of your purchases, we are able to provide an education for one girl for an entire year. With your help by 2021 our goal is to provide 10 girls with an education each and every year. If you would like to purchase a Balinese Friendship Bracelet click here.
Below is an excerpt from Kurandza:
"Kurandza is a non-profit social enterprise that invests in the future of women in Mozambique. Through education, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development programs, women learn to become leaders in their villages, sharing their skills and knowledge with the rest of their community, and creating opportunity for thousands of people. What makes us different from other organizations? We listen to the needs of the people on the ground in Mozambique. Local needs drive the projects we create and fund, which ensures that our projects generate the most impact possible. Kurandza means "to love" in Changana, the local language of the people we work with in Mozambique. Your gift allows us to provide holistic education programs to our girls in Mozambique. These programs include health education, after-school tutoring, extra-curricular activities, parent-teacher conferences, and empowerment workshops!"
