SIREJ Bolivia is working in colloboration with CIPCA  to support indigenous women's cooperatives making non-timber forest products out of cusi, also know as babassu. Our members hope to connect the women's co-op's to buyers. In doing so we hope to mitigate deforestation and support gender empowerment.

If you would like to learn more about how to purchase the products please contact us at [email protected] . You may also reach out directly to CIPCA by clicking the image below.  You may also connect with them on Facebook.

Hello!

We are a small sustainable skincare company in Long Beach, New York. We want to support women and the environment through all of our sourced ingredients, and we are very interested in purchasing Babassu through this co-op. Please let me know how to proceed.

Best Regards,
Jennifer

    About

    Working in collaboration with CIPCA, a local indigenous organizations in Bolivia, we are finding ways to connect cusieras (women who harvest cusi) with potential buyers and promote their non-timber forest products. Cusi is harvested sustainably without having to cut the trees down. This reduces deforestation and leaves the trees for future generations. ​
