Quito, Ecuador
My name is Manuela Soto, I’m 15, and I founded Esquerra i Dreta (“Left and Right” in Catalan), a sustainable brand of handmade bags crafted by women heads of household using recycled t-shirt yarn ("trapillo"). Each piece is unique and supports the Hospital de los Valles Foundation. The project promotes environmental, social, and economic sustainability while empowering women and funding access to healthcare.
