BOGOTA COLOMBIA). Thursday, February 24, 2022 (RPTV NEWS AGENCY). Weaving is not only synonymous with the conservation of ancestral cultures, its practice has allowed many women who continue with these traditions to raise their families. This is the case of Nelsy Rodríguez and her Cooperative of Rural Business Women of Boyacá, with which they have managed to change the future of 20 families in Tunja,
“I have always been in love with fabrics,” says Nelsy, who, in the company of 20 other women heads of household, formed their own cooperative, generating their own economic income.
“Since one spends his time as a housewife, he goes without money, but my dream had always been to have a loom to be able to weave and do what I know how to do,” he explains.
The creation of the cooperative came with the support of the Special Administrative Unit for Solidarity Organizations (UAEOS), which trains and promotes the ventures of vulnerable communities in the country, such as Nelsy’s, who creates ruanas, necklaces and other handicrafts with her talent.
“The UAEOS has provided us with collaboration, education and training. We have a loom, we have tables, pots, chairs and thanks to this help we have been able to move forward with our process”, expressed Wendy González, who shows her joy at the opportunity to access the support of this entity that is attached to the Ministry of Labor. .
“The UAEOS provides them with all the support and accompaniment so that they can carry out this business model,” explained Rafael González, national director of the UAEOS.
To date, there are already more than six million people linked to the solidarity economy, one million belonging to employee funds and approximately five million more, who are part of companies such as mutual associations and cooperatives.
