We've endeavoured to keep prices steady over the last 4 years, with only a small increase in some prices. We've increased the amount paid to the ladies to help counteract inflation and the deterioration in exchange rates so that they do not suffer. We've absorbed much of the additional cost by reducing the (small) profit margin we made - remember that all the profit went back to the project though. This Autumn (2022) we've had to increase the prices on a few items to maintain status quo.
From time to time we have lots of stock - please contact us to see if we have what you'd like. If not, then orders are taken for delivery in 4-6 months. Our "profit margin" on sales is very low to ensure that ladies continue to receive their income. Overall "Profits" also include the donations we receive as a result of our talks - donations in lieu of "speaker fees", general donations from attendees at our talks and "top-up" donations when our customers make purchases. These make a real difference to the amount we can send back to the Project .
If you can add a little by way of a donation to your payment this too will be passed back to the project.
We do not ask for money at the time of ordering, only on delivery of the item.

Orders are welcomed, but we cannot guarantee delivery by a specific date. Items not in stock are manufactured to order only and to minimise costs of postage from Peru, we must combine orders together. It is most likely that we will have deliveries in Spring and Autum each year. Work on a 4 - 6 month lead time please for items not in stock.
Other items can be purchased - please see the Examples page for the Priest's Stole and a waistcoat - to special order. Please contact Nick or Chris if you wish to enquire about these or indeed and other special item not on the above price list.
If you do require urgent delivery, then we can obtain a quotation for postage of a single item from Peru. Typically, a 1st class post parcel will cost from £40.
Postage within the UK is typically £4 - £5 per item for single larger items down to as little as £0.90 for a purse, but will be at cost only - we re-use packaging so there is only the postage cost. For multiple items to the same address, we will endeavour to create as compact a parcel as possible and minimise overall cost.
ALL income from sales is returned to the ladies and the Anglican
Church in Peru , (excluding the Postage costs).
Shortly after we started our support for the project, Jean
Samaniego, the project co-ordinator, quoted:
“The new group we inaugurated last year has just completed a year of
work, and we are most grateful for the extra that you sent us from
last year's sales, which enabled us to fund their work. We provided
them with fabrics and paid two of the ladies from the original group
to teach them. This teaching continues, and we have seen them
improve enormously, and bring new touches to the work done, as well
as be very happy to have the extra income. Another of the group has
begun studying nursing, and finds her income most useful for buying
materials for the course.” Subsequently, most profit has been used
for healthcare (there is no NHS in Peru) and other essential support
for the ladies and their families.
