The project also links artisans to an international market that had previously not had access to these goods because of the presence of lead. <br /><br /> The goals of ATA's Lead-Free Alliance Mexico project are the revival of traditional Mexican pottery, improvement of the health of traditional Mexican potters and their customers, and the increase in potters' incomes while minimizing negative environmental impact. <br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2125">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2125#comment BOP Technology Activity Active International Agency Funded Mexico Non-profit Activity Private Investment Funded Producer Latin America Wed, 11 Jan 2006 11:40:20 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2125 at http://www.nextbillion.net
