Nisolo is focused on promoting change and empowering those in impoverished regions of the world through education and employment opportunities.
The company was founded on the belief that helping those in need requires more than simply providing donations and charity. By selling handmade leather products, like shoes and bags crafted in Trujillo, Peru, the company exposes the struggling artists who create them to new markets and creates a sustainable source of employment for the artisans.
Also believing that education is a key factor in improving one's quality of life, the Nashville-based organization donates 10 per cent of the sales from their goods to educational programs in the cities where their goods are made.
