AlterNatives

A non-profit program started by the Highland Support Project, we strive to support social programs empowering Central American women. With your support, we can transform the lives of their families and communities while creating a democratic economy that is sustainable, just and friendly. AlterNatives is based on the Maya teaching that the market is a sacred space of mutually beneficial exchanges. We endeavor to provide the consumer with products of quality, value, and meaning.

Founded in 1999 by the husband & wife team of Ben & Guadalupe Blevins, AlterNatives has been bringing you fair trade merchandise of the highest quality for 12 years.

We believe that markets must be based on mutually beneficial exchanges. We work to provide the artisans who create these items with a just and bountiful existence; as well as provide the consumer with the highest quality creations that are produced and distributed from the heart.
