To our wonderful collaborators
As we evaluate the journey we have made together, the impact already made, and the potential to leverage this experience to do more in the future, we hope that those who have supported our work will be encouraged by the exceptional social return on their investment, and will continue to support us. We hope that those who are new to us will join us. We want to express our deep gratitude to our long-time donors and our new donors, on behalf of those of us who work at LCE, and especially on behalf of the hundreds (soon to be thousands) of working families in the Andes whose lives have been profoundly improved through this effort. Thank you all.
Objectives
Expansion and Service
We will expand our reach so that we can serve a greater number of villages and schools nationwide, bringing our initiatives to new communities.
Ongoing Training
We will train blacksmiths by teaching modern forging techniques, standardization using the Learning Template, and the use of the Rural Blacksmith and Master Blacksmith Manual.
Strengthen the Workshops
We will strengthen and re-equip the Rural Blacksmithing Workshops (TRF) to increase the production of tools for our commercial program.
Commercial Network
We will create a commercial network that directly connects farmers in agricultural communities with consumers in the city, promoting fair trade.
Innovation in Design
We will innovate in tool design and iron processing, thereby improving the quality of the finished products we create.
Educate
Education will be our central focus—a self-sustaining model that ranges from vocational training to technical specialization, with the goal of fostering development in rural communities.
