Your mind will also rest easily knowing that, through your purchase of this swing, you are helping to support the talented Nicaraguan artisans who are disabled and would otherwise be unemployed in their homeland.
 
 In Nicaragua, more than 90% of individuals with disabilities are unemployed. This is because most regions of the country, especially rural areas, still have a strong stigma around disabilities. As a consequence, these individuals are often completely excluded from the educational system as well as from employment opportunities.
 
Tio Antonio’s was founded to show that businesses which employed individuals with disabilities could be profitable. They also wanted to be an example for other businesses and eradicate any fears around hiring those with special needs. Additionally, Tio Antonio’s initiated a campaign to fight for the rights of these individuals, as it is impossible to create change for a group that has no visibility.
 
Tio Antonio first created Hamacas Tio Antonio, which has grown to employ thirty-eight people to craft products Nicaragua has long been known for: high quality, beautifully crafted hammocks. Not long after, Cafe de las Sonrisas was born–the first restaurant/cafe in Nicaragua run entirely by the deaf.
 
Lastly, a macrame workshop was started, aiming to provide meaningful employment opportunities for women in high-risk situations.
