Natividad

Natividad, or Nati, is from the highland town of Cajamarca, Peru. She was born on September 9, 1974 and has completed fourth grade of primary school. She has one grown daughter.

Natividad has a small store in the community where she sells her hand knit products, school supplies, and she also bakes cakes! She learned to knit just a few years ago with us in CESAPU, and really enjoys doing it in her free time, when she's not creating different desserts.

Nati has been consistent Chimuk artisan since we first began our community programs in 2017. she makes beautiful products and has a great eye for design. She is good-natured and a pleasure to be around and if we ever have a celebration, we go to her for a homemade cake!
