The Manantary District
A squatter community of 15,000 without access to
Proper Shelter . Clean Water . Health Care . Education
Pucallpa, Peru
The Pure Art Foundation, located in Hudson Quebec, works primarily with communities in the Manantay slums of Pucallpa, a Peruvian Amazon town, living without access to clean water, housing, the means to education & local first-line health care.
We believe that health, shelter & education are the pillars of a strong community and the means of restoring human dignity in communities stricken by poverty.

The 100% Model
A model for change that continues to give back 100%. We partner with the Pure Art Boutique, a Canadian fair trade store, operating as a non-profit, that absorbs the administrative costs of running the Foundation. This way, we ensure that 100% of public donations go directly to our sustainability program.
The Art of Shopping with a Purpose™ is a partnership between the Pure Art Foundation and the Pure Art Boutique. It’s a model, beyond charity, that brings Fair Trade principles, talented artisans & sustainable development into a partnership that seeks to empower marginalized communities from around the world through the healing power of art. Working directly with artisan co-ops & other fair trade brands with their own social missions, we are able to create a ripple effect for social change that touches a growing network of people.
My Contribution to Humanity
