It’s time to Equip Rural Women in Peru

Alpaca Pan Peru was born thanks to Julia’s idea to create a platform for the rural women in Peru to commercialize their products in the United States. Partnering with the Pan Peru nonprofit, Julia recruited Pedro and Stephen to help her build the website and gain the first 20 customers.
