While in Oaxaca we were able to go on En Via's Tour. I highly recommend this amazing opportunity to meet the women with whom they work and to really learn about their lives, businesses and communities. We visited 6 women in two towns who shared their stories and talked about their business plans. Their trip will give you a view... More

I don't need to repeat all the information about En Via's operations and mission, and all the good it appears to do, all of which is available on its website and in other reviews.

It was great to be able to go out into the communities to see how this organization has helped not only the women but also the families. It's a great model that should be replicated. It's also a great way to go out into the towns.

The tour leaders and the woman who we... More
