About Tawara
TAWARA is an indigenous word from the Wayuu tribe located in the north of Colombia that means siblings.
We are four siblings from Colombia who want to share our love for our country by giving the opportunity to other people to purchase beautiful handicrafts made by women from Colombian indigenous communities and small Colombian artisans.
We are living apart around the world. Two of us live in Australia in Hobart. The idea of selling Mochilas and other handcrafts made by indigenous and small artisans in Colombia is to share part of our culture and history with the world starting here in Australia.
For TAWARA MOCHILAS it is important to support these different groups of indigenous and small artisans, who keep the traditions, by purchasing mochilas and handicrafts directly from them or organizations that contribute to maintaining the Colombian heritage and help the community development.
Our mission is to share our heritage through the mochilas and the handcrafts imported from Colombia.
Our vision is to contribute back to the communities. When we make sufficient profit, we will donate 5% of our monthly profit to indigenous or artisans’ communities in Colombia to help to maintain our heritage and culture alive.
