    Description
    Description

    Hecho por Nosotros is a non-profit organization with consultative status in the ECOSOC of the UN. Our work arises from the vision of a world governed by transparency in the textile value chain, using technological tools as a means, not an end, and creating added value through good production practices. We develop training programs along with research and education projects to achieve innovative solutions, aiming to effectively address the social, economic, and environmental problems related to the textile industry. This paradigm shift is pursued through two main approaches: firstly, the protection and recovery of ancestral knowledge, which entails safeguarding biodiversity, respecting the environment and humanity; secondly, reevaluating the linearity of production chains through recycling and efficient waste management (waste management and the pursuit of zero waste). All our efforts are directed towards bringing brands and leaders from various industries closer to sustainability, establishing an active dialogue among consumers, supply chain stakeholders, and major producers. This collaborative ecosystem allows for experimentation and the generation of tools for consumers, integrating them into the product story and enriching the pool of professionals entering new markets. We have been working towards these goals for a decade and take pride in having collaborated with over 80 organizations to date. Our promotion program includes ECOSOC consultative status and consultation and collaboration with various international organizations such as UNIDO, ECLAC, ITC, as well as those working within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, local governments, business partners, and other stakeholders. Hecho por Nosotros plays a significant role in promoting and safeguarding sustainability, not only in the textile industry but in all global value chains and beyond, relying on collaboration among consumers, designers, producers, brands, policymakers, investors, and the youth to create disruptive opportunities. From this perspective of development culture, our work aligns with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, recognizing the fundamental role of culture, creativity, and cultural diversity in reconciling economic and social aspects of development, fostering economic growth, and promoting social inclusion. Thus, we nourish our collaborative network by promoting creative industries, which are sectors focused primarily on creativity, production, reproduction, promotion, dissemination, and commercialization of goods, services, and activities with cultural, artistic, or heritage content (UNESCO, 2010). This demonstrates that the strength of the actors, stemming from creativity and growing through awareness and improvement of consumption patterns, results in transforming production systems.

    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    Hecho por Nosotros (HxN) is an organization that envisions progress by joining forces with society, with the goal of building a more sustainable world together. Our area of work revolves around the fashion industry, but it does not solely pertain to the textile world. We believe in a holistic approach to the entire production chain, which has broadened our scope of action and resulted in direct work related to 3 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 4, 8, and 12; and indirect work related to SDGs 1, 5, 10, 13, and 17. Our work revolves around three main causes: Cause 1: Ensuring inclusive and quality education. Educating and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all (SDG 4). Education is a key component in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hecho x Nosotros believes that providing access to quality education empowers individuals to enter the job market and start their own businesses, breaking the cycle of poverty. We have created the HxN University, Capacity Building programs, and the toolkit platform - all projects supported by professionals - to develop courses, workshops, seminars, training sessions, and roundtable discussions. These initiatives aim to engage students, entrepreneurs, designers, professionals from various disciplines, as well as other NGOs, international organizations, and universities. HxN activities aligned with SDG 4: Since 2009, Hecho x Nosotros has trained over 7,500 artisans through courses in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, and Peru. The training covers technical skills in production methods, as well as education in commercial areas like business planning and marketing. The technical courses offered by HxN include: • Over 300 workshops on fashion and sustainability. • Fiber processing techniques such as alpaca and chaguar (Bromelia hieronymi). • Workshops on natural threads and dyes. • Skill improvement in crochet, knitting, embroidery, upholstery, and weaving in underserved communities. • Design capabilities to increase the marketability of artisanal products. • Training of artisans, anthropologists, and fashion designers in ethical fashion. Cause 2: Promoting integrated, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, as well as promoting decent and fair work for all (SDG 8). Reducing poverty levels worldwide requires creating more stable jobs with fair wages. Decent employment means access to fair remuneration, workplace safety, and social protection for families. Hecho x Nosotros recognizes that sustainable fashion requires a workforce with dignified working conditions. Additionally, our training includes circular economy principles that support the promotion of decent working conditions. HxN activities aligned with SDG 8: • By providing tools that empower vulnerable populations to participate in the job market, HxN contributes to increased per capita economic growth. • In addition to the activities reflected in SDG 4, the organization has developed numerous projects and training sessions on creating sustainable entrepreneurial activities. • Although we cannot measure the total number of micro-enterprises that have emerged from HxN's activities and connections, we can confirm that many have been created, and over 350 have received support to progress towards production, contributing to job creation. • Our main goal is to help micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) succeed in their businesses based on sustainable practices. Additionally, we collaborate by training professionals to use circular design techniques, alternative materials, and local art. • We also support local artisans and MSMEs in scaling up. We encourage them to connect with HxN's network of interdisciplinary professionals and experts to co-create solutions to their challenges. Cause 3: Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). The increasing levels of global consumption have put immense pressure on environmental care. Changing our production habits and consumption patterns is necessary to avoid causing further damage. For this reason, Hecho x Nosotros has designed a curriculum to promote the use of sustainable textiles and environmental care. HxN activities aligned with SDG 12: • Through the development of educational materials on sustainable production in the fashion world, HxN directly impacts the reduction of polluting textiles, encouraging the use of natural materials instead. The organization aims to sensitize key consumer groups, fashion designers, and producers in various ways to lead lifestyles and commercial activities in harmony with nature. • HxN also contributes directly to indicators related to access to education, promoting global awareness among citizens. • By improving businesses through the adoption of sustainable principles and practices, we aim to ensure tools for traceability and transparency in interactions between all relevant parties and consumers in B2B and B2C markets. • We promote 'responsible consumption' by educating consumers about sustainable purchases, aiming to introduce new paradigms of shopping and usage.

    Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

    Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer at Hecho por Nosotros involve a collaborative approach with artisans and SMEs to democratize knowledge, education, and technology (ICT). Our aim is to empower these stakeholders by providing them with tools and resources to enhance their capabilities and promote sustainable practices in the fashion industry. We recognize that the conventional fashion model contradicts sustainability, often exploiting both human and environmental resources, including child labor and inadequate wages. While these issues might be overlooked by consumers, our mission revolves around shedding light on the challenges embedded within one of the most impactful industries in our daily lives. Throughout our history, our core objective has been to not only raise awareness about these problems but also actively engage in cross-disciplinary and intergenerational dialogues without geographical limitations. We achieve this through various means: Knowledge Dissemination: We disseminate valuable knowledge and insights gained from our research, experiences, and partnerships. This knowledge is shared through workshops, seminars, and educational materials. Education Empowerment: We empower artisans and SMEs by providing them with educational resources, training programs, and skill development opportunities. This enables them to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to positive change within the fashion industry. Technology Utilization: We leverage technology, such as online platforms like Zoom, to facilitate virtual workshops, webinars, and collaborative discussions. This enables artisans and SMEs to access information, interact with experts, and engage in productive exchanges without geographical barriers. Media Engagement: We use media channels to amplify our message and create public awareness about the issues prevalent in the fashion industry. By leveraging media, we ensure that the broader society is informed and engaged in the pursuit of sustainability. Academic Collaboration: We collaborate with academic institutions to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. This fosters a comprehensive understanding of sustainable practices among artisans, SMEs, and the wider community. In summary, Hecho por Nosotros is committed to empowering artisans and SMEs through capacity-building and technology transfer initiatives. By democratizing knowledge, education, and technology, we aim to drive sustainable change within the fashion industry while fostering cross-border, interdisciplinary dialogues that address these critical issues.

    Coordination mechanisms

    The growth and organization of Hecho por Nosotros have influenced in an organic way and have developed as a living ecosystem that allows for interdisciplinary collaboration. The organization is led by Adriana Marina, founder of Hecho por Nosotros and Animaná, the general coordination department, which is supported by two individuals who function as catalysts for the organization's interdisciplinary groups. Broadly speaking, the sub-groups that are deployed and under their responsibility are: HxN Toolkit, Artisans, Youth x Youth, Participation in the United Nations, Research, Communications Department, and Human Resources. All teams are composed of volunteers who generously contribute their working hours under the belief that together we are building a better world. With a high level of dedication and discipline, the results from all teams have demonstrated that collaborative work is possible and yields significant outcomes.

    Evaluation

    Rooted in the vision of a transparent textile value chain and using technology as a means to enhance value, their work emphasizes good production practices. The organization employs training programs, research, and education initiatives to develop innovative solutions that address social, economic, and environmental challenges within the textile industry. This transformation is pursued through safeguarding ancestral knowledge, respecting biodiversity, and reevaluating linear production chains through recycling and waste management. Hecho por Nosotros collaborates with brands, industry leaders, and stakeholders to foster sustainability, cultivating a space for interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation. Over the past decade, Hecho por Nosotros has reached approximately 8,500 artisans and engaged with 350 SMEs, forming strategic partnerships with over 30 international universities and organizations such as UN, ITC, WEF, and B Corps. Their efforts align with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, aiming to reconcile economic and social aspects of development through culture, creativity, and diversity. The organization's initiatives encompass three primary causes: inclusive education (SDG 4), promoting sustainable economic growth and decent work (SDG 8), and encouraging responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). Hecho por Nosotros empowers through knowledge dissemination, education, technology utilization, media engagement, and academic collaboration, striving for a holistic and sustainable transformation of the fashion industry. Hecho por Nosotros' growth and organization have evolved organically, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Led by Adriana Marina, the organization's structure encompasses departments such as HxN Toolkit, Artisans, Youth x Youth, Participation in the United Nations, Research, Communications, and Human Resources. The teams, composed of volunteers, work passionately to create tangible outcomes, building a collaborative ecosystem for positive change. Through a comprehensive approach to capacity-building and technology transfer, Hecho por Nosotros champions sustainable practices, engaging artisans, designers, consumers, and stakeholders in a shared pursuit of transformative opportunities.

    Partners

    20 international organizations, including UN, UNIDO-Italy, NGO Redress, WEF, UNECE, WEF, Promperu, Min production, social affaire in argentina), Ashoka, Global Compact, UNECE, UNEP, Stanford Angels angels and entrepreneurs For 14 years, we have led sustainability concepts in the textile and fashion industry, value chain integration, and value generation in Latin American countries, positioning the Argentine NGO internationally through alliances and continuous presence in international forums such as the United Nations (UN), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and World Economic Forum (WEF). We have a strong on-ground presence through various institutions, organizations, municipalities, and governments, with whom we develop joint projects. Our focus is on Argentina, where we work and co-create in regions including Patagonia, Buenos Aires, NOA, and Cuyo. We aim to strengthen the role of artisans, interior SMEs, natural fiber producers, women, and youth in regional economies from an Argentine perspective. See here for examples of our work in Argentina. For the past three years, we have been part of local projects linked to international programs on camelid fiber, initiated by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia, and later the CYTED forum, integrating a network of these three countries. Based on our experiences in these nations, we aim to extend these learnings across Latin America, with the goal of expanding our ecosystem's reach. Through activities like transdisciplinary co-creation, we aim to build networks of sustainable practices involving various stakeholders to propagate the model of systemic change worldwide. The Hecho por Nosotros ecosystem in Latin America stems from its B Corp proof of concept, animaná, which has developed a refined supply chain built around best practices and a triple impact approach on the continent. This network provides strong regional support for HxN in Latin America, particularly through its integration of Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia, with local presence throughout the region. It collaborates with universities, institutions, artisans, cooperatives, and entrepreneurs, while the NGO grows intensively and gathers diverse stakeholders globally. Finally, the knowledge gained from Argentina has been extended through various acceleration programs endorsed by Ashoka Cono Sur, Ashoka Global, C&A, Cordes Foundation, UNECE UN, and the Network of Sustainability Centers to the continents of Asia—particularly in India—and Africa—especially in Ghana and Nigeria. These programs work to deepen sustainable models, promote local textiles, and collaborate with small artisans and vulnerable populations. All of this underscores the importance of fostering collaborative and creative models for regenerative development, while strengthening South-South cooperation to promote sustainable development models rooted in local foundations.
