Stop World Poverty, Cooperation and Solidarity. "For a supportive shoe in Ecuador"

The project was intended to accompany the growth of the cooperative Calzado Vinicius, enabling the production of shoes. The cooperative - born thanks to the initiative of the Community of Capodarco - work in the district of Penipe and offers an opportunity to physically and mentally disabled. The project has allowed us to strengthen the capacities of the cooperative, in terms of skills, training and knowledge of the market and has encouraged further job placement of persons with disabilities and women, supporting the distribution of cooperative development models based on associations. Through the reinvestment of profits generated were financed projects revolving funds and micro-credit in support of street children in Quito, 60 children shoe shine and for small local producers.
