The Yanesha people date back to pre-Incan times and are indigenous to the Palcazu Valley in Peru. Working as artisans with PaTS allows the Yanesha to earn fair wages and provide for their families. PaTS is a non-profit organization that links the Yanesha with markets in the United States , empowering them to sell their products to earn a living without exploiting their natural resources.

Each PaTS product is a one-of-a-kind piece handmade by an artisan from the Yanesha community in Peru. The Yanesha are skilled in carving a range of wooden accessories, including tableware, stools, and candleholders, as well as creating naturally dyed and hand-painted textiles and wall art.

PaTS's wooden products are all sourced from managed forests. Selectively harvesting trees preserves the Amazon rainforest and its abundant biodiversity. The Yanesha people use sustainably harvested wood to protect the rainforest from clear-cutting by logging companies and to preserve their most precious natural resource for future generations.
