Project Olas Partnership
The Pulsera Project is happy to partner with Project Olas to offer discounted video chats with women from "Zone 3" in Guatemala City while sending 20% of funds raised during Olas-referred pulsera sales directly back to Project Olas.
We Send Everything You Need
We provide everything you need to lead a pulsera sale that will benefit Project Olas, including a trifold photo display, informational & educational materials, videos, customizable posters, & enough pulseras for your entire school!
No money is ever required to lead a pulsera sale, and any unsold bracelets can simply be sent back to us at the end of your sale with the pre-paid UPS label that we provide.
Works of Art
Each $5 pulsera is a one-of-a-kind work of art that comes tagged with the photo & signature of the artist who made it, making it super easy for students to feel a connection to the people they're supporting.
Big Impact to Project Olas and Beyond
The funds raised from pulsera sales benefit countless Central Americans, raising money for scholarships, secondary education programs, healthcare, human rights issues, environmental projects, and social enterprises, in addition to providing employment for artisans in Guatemala and Nicaragua.
For pulsera sales referred through Project Olas, we'll direct 20% of funds directly back to Project Olas to support the women & their communities.
​
Just make sure to select "Project Olas" as the referral source when signing up for your pulsera sale.
Join the Color Revolution
Over 3,800 schools in all 50 states have colored their classrooms and hallways with pulseras and the stories behind them, each one made in Central America by fair trade cooperatives, artisan families, and independent artisans in Nicaragua & Guatemala.

Free Educational Materials
We also offer free, authentic educational materials for Spanish classes and Spanish clubs, focusing on the artists and communities we work with. Students learn directly from the artists they’re empowering about poverty, fair trade, and life & culture in Central America.
Our videos, autobiographies, and many other activities provide rich insight in the target language while providing meaningful context for the impact of your school's pulsera sale.

Pulsera Project co-founders in the U.S. are also available to video chat with your class about The Pulsera Project's work in Central America.
