Alfredo's sales have increased more than three times since starting with Novica. He started with only a few assistants and now can offer work to his helpers and several other women who help fill his orders part-time. Many of the women who work for him are now able to provide essentials for their homes like mattresses, refrigerators, and other appliances.
Over twenty years ago, Alfredo was infected with tuberculosis at just 22 years of age. For nine months, he was bedridden and unable to work. Tuberculosis is a deadly disease with more than 5,000 people per day passing away from the disease. Alfredo survived and was able to become healthy again.
Alfredo currently provides full-time jobs to a single mother, a man trying to fund his education, and several women who are bringing income to their households.
Alfredo currently supports English studies for his four nephews, with the hope that it will help them achieve a better future.
Alfredo was recognized by the city hall for his excellent work.

This gorgeous, warm, light, hand knit baby alpaca poncho is simple, elegant, functional, and perfect for travel. Light, wrinkle-free, long enough, but surprisingly warm and cozy. Love it!

My package arrived really fast. The presentation of wrapping and cards detailing the artist was impressive. I felt a surge of appreciation for the fine quality poncho held in my hands. Trying it on was even better. It looks great, and fit like it was designed just for me. Soft, elegant, warm and beautiful!

I'm sure I will be ordering presents for my family in the future.
