Casa Mantay is a home for teenage mothers with nowhere else to turn. They provide a safe place for them to stay, raise their children and go to school. While there, Casa Mantay residents are also taught a trade which they can continue once they leave the program: leather-making. They learn the basics of designing, cutting and sewing leather into beautiful yet functional contemporary products.
On this cultural tour, you’ll get a tour of this wonderful facility, visit the leather-making workshop and even make your own leather keychain to take home! You’ll end the morning with a lunch shared with all the girls and their children in the communal dining room.
